The careful selection and integration of projects to meet specific learning objectivesis an aspect of an effective inductive learning pedagogy called Challenge Based Instruction. A positive and supportive learning environment is essential to effectively accomplishing thelearning objectives that the curriculum and pedagogy is intended to support. The ultimateobjective of the PREP program is to prepare students for and motivate them toward highereducation particularly in STEM fields. The university setting is an ideal environment for theprogram. Exposure to college students, STEM faculty, campus laboratory and research

While this may appear like a common imageprocessing tool, it’s quite different in that the tool only performs the basic methods studied inthe course.
