The idealmodel level will be a reflection of how a model compares to other proposed ideas and keyconcepts.Coauthors collaborated in order to determine how particular models and model categories rate oneach scale. In addition, qualities emphasized by Atman, Haik, and other researchers1, 3, 5, 17 weretaken into consideration before rating a particular design model. Overall, particular ratings areobjectively based on experience.The evaluated models come from various engineering journals and books. These process modelsare often seen in engineering courses and have applications in a real world environment

This approach enhances perception accuracy and reliability byleveraging the strengths of each sensor type to overcome individual limitations.Edge and cloud computing are also expected to play a significant role in the future ofautonomous driving [13]. Edge computing allows data to be processed locally on the vehicle,reducing latency and ensuring faster decision-making in real-time scenarios. Simultaneously,cloud computing enables more complex computations and data storage, providing a balancebetween efficiency and computational power.

During the 2021- 22 academic year, the school underwent a comprehensive academic program review by a team of academic and industry leaders. One of the key recommendations by the team reflected a deep concern about undergraduate enrollment and retention, stating the following: “The weak student enrollments at the undergraduate level are a serious, existential threat that requires immediate and bold action by all the program leadership.” Such a statement from an external panel of experts, coupled with internal data-driven discussions, helped to convince the faculty of the

However, from the government side, there was alsoa lack of legislation protecting gender equality, and a lack of collaboration withnongovernmental organizations that promote women's rights [2].
