This gap was addressed in this course.In summary, this designed course designed was to cover the four key segments ofcomputer vision systems, i.e. a) image acquisition, b) image processing, c) imageanalysis, and d) image understanding (pattern recognition). Table 1 illustrates thefour learning objectives of the course and their associated Bloom’s taxonomy. Toachieve these learning objectives, active teaching and learning techniques alongwith modified conventional lectures and hands-on laboratory activities were used.In addition to the assignments, and

My study habits did not change whatsoever. I continued to do my work, I prioritized school over everything else, yet I did not perform to the level I am used to. To say the least, it was very discouraging. After this time, I did what many students do, and called my mom crying. I was so upset because I spent so much time studying and had no reward. She did not know what to tell me, but reminded me that it would be okay and I would learn how to adjust and do better. After calling my step-mom, I confessed how scared I was to lose my

The majority of students in both schools were White/Caucasian, followed bymultiracial, Hispanic, and other (district level data statistics), and these patterns were observedby researchers in the classrooms (demographic data were not collected on students). In all, 265students participated in the activity.Two researchers facilitated the CALE activity in the classrooms. The activity ranged in durationfrom 30-50 minutes, depending on classroom schedules. After completing the activity in eachclassroom, researchers made field notes and discussed aspects of the activity that did and did notwork. Because the activity was in development, we refined and updated the activity as
