The two HPC platforms are initialized in both the scalesof computing cluster and embedded system. As shown is Figure 1, HPC cluster platform is a 24nodes IBM iDataPlex, and embedded HPC platform is an unmanned underwater vehicle withARM technique. These platforms can support HPC parallelism productivity using OpenMP, MPI,and Pthread as well as develop computer vision and machine learning courses and research.Table 2 lists the undergraduate required courses that will be impacted across

Discussion and ConclusionsThe undergraduate research program called IMMERSE has four key aspects. (1) Single pointentry with an online application process provides a better way for advertising of the program. Italso provides more efficient initial research training. (2) Authentic research is attained byplacing undergraduate researchers into existing projects, maintaining a reasonable student-faculty ratio, and providing for a

as for getting the necessary insight forthose who would like to pursue graduate degrees and get involved in research associated withthese degrees. How students get hands-on experience varies widely among colleges, programs,and individuals. A lot of programs make efforts to introduce hands-on approaches in their coursesthrough labs and project-based courses. The senior (capstone) projects are for most of theengineering programs the most comprehensive projects, asking the students to go from statingthe problem to formulating and designing a solution and to actually build and test the proposedsolution. Often, the senior projects are initiated from industry collaborations. Another way togain practical experience is to encourage and support

As such, awide variety of methods and methodologies have been imported from both positivist andinterpretivist traditions in other domains[1]. Design inquiry approaches, however, have yet to bewidely adopted in the field.
