Nambisan also has been very active in leadership roles of several professional societies and organizations such as the American Society of Civil Engi- neers (ASCE), American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), Council of University Transporta- tion Centers (CUTC), Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), and Transportation Research Board (TRB). His current appointments include those as a member of the Educational Activities Committee which reports to ASCE’s Board of Direction; Chair of the ASEE Civil Engineering Division; member of the Executive Committee of CUTC

figures such as object-strip color22, purely kinematic principles23, or spectraldistribution24. These approaches are attractive because their features are efficient to compute, andthey have inherently manageable search spaces.C. Suggested Course ExercisesThe intents of these exercises are to reinforce specific material in the host course and to provideguided procedures for other aspects. (More comprehensive experience could be assigned forcourse projects, honors research, capstone design work, etc.) Consider exercises for the threesuggested topics, i.e. image processing, embedded systems, and artificial intelligence, as shownin Table 1. A basic processing pipeline is assumed here that uses background subtraction to findobject blobs and that
