Thispaper mainly describes the computer engineering internship project, in which four sophomorestudents from the community college developed a mobile gesture recognition system byintegrating bio-signal processing, machine learning, real-time system design, and mobile andcloud computing technologies. The project was conducted in a research lab at the four-yearuniversity and was supervised by a faculty advisor and a graduate student mentor. The researchoutcome of the project as well as the results of the pre- and post-program surveys show that theinternship program was a great success in allowing the student interns to gain valuable computerengineering
