The tutorial consists ofspecific examples like detecting and counting bees, segmentation of fruit trees and automaticfruit classification. The examples for the tutorials are chosen because of their simplicity ofimplementation and because they are also easily expandable into more complex projects.

As the design courses at Stevens, an arenawhere students are most likely to need greater levels of SVS, are almost exclusively basedaround teamwork and group projects, students with lower levels of spatial ability may be aidedby their group for example.As discussed in previous work

Simply adding discussions can have a positive impact onstudents’ intrinsic motivation [19]. If we use Bonwell and Eison’s [20] definition of activelearning as “anything that involves students doing things and thinking about the things they aredoing,” the possibilities are vast.
