The detection of cracks, erosion, voids, and gaps in walls and structural supports is criticalin preventing structural failures. Microwave-based, non-invasive techniques such as Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) are preferred to detect structural anomalies since there is no impacton the integrity of the structure or material due to the penetration ability of microwaves intodielectric materials. Current NDT equipment have several limitations and drawbacks, such asbeing

needed to wait for students to log into the online class before starting the practice.Author 3 noted that being able to move the time of the mediation to better fit in the coursematerial for the day was advantageous. Additionally, Author 3 noticed that different classsections had different preferences. For example, Author 3’s morning class section liked havingthe practice early during class (e.g., at the beginning), while the afternoon class section liked thepractices later in the class session, especially on Friday (e.g., at the end of class). Lastly, it is ofnote that Author 2 thought a five-minute practice might be too long for an online course,especially when done daily, but the same duration worked well for the in-person course,according to

This paper reported progress of the first objective.Introduction/BackgroundThe importance of diversity in the U. S. engineering workforce has been recognized. Lack ofworkforce diversity in engineering fields has been related to the poor recruitment and retentionof educationally disadvantaged students or underrepresented groups in engineering [1].

ConclusionThis paper presents preliminary work of the implementation of object detection on Raspberry Pi for asenior design project. We run a mobile deep learning model, SSD-MobileNet, on Raspberry Pi todetect various objects. Preliminary valudation results demonstrate the effectiveness of thisimplementation. Moreover, the on-going work is to improve weapon detection. Future work will focuson completing comprehensive and systematical validation on weapon detection in different testingscenarios.

Moreover, the proposed holisticengineering design education prevailing over the restricted use of key technical macro-thematicfactors, allow for the design of equitable and inclusive solutions through the consideration of thediverse influences associated with the project. This is an especially critical feature given that keytechnical macro-thematic factors used for traditional engineering design may be developed basedon specific group(s) of our society. Therefore, not accounting for the uniqueness and diversity thatlocal-thematic may impose, and even demand, from the respective solution, e.g., Smart Gridprojects for a high- and low- income regions significantly differ on its design features
