This has encouraged the students to construct the programme cohort, so theycould help each other whilst helping themselves.Collaboration is important in learning as well as in innovation. Individuals constructknowledge through their interactions with others and through problem solving. Throughsocial learning people learn from one another via observation, imitation, modelling, with andthrough other people, participating in a community, and action learning.

necessaryfor an emerging field – why? First, the structure of the sessions allows the entire community toengage in an interchange of ideas giving a broader examination of those ideas that originate withone or two participants. Second, the research workload is typically distributed over a largernumber of participants rather than being concentrated in only a small number allowing morerapid development of topics of interest. Third, we find that having students whose interests areclosely aligned to the core ideas of CSG, enables knowledgeable engagement with generallyresearch backed assertions rather than purely opinion based discussions. However, we find thatthere is one major disadvantage of the current approach: There is a barrier for new student

Whenengaged in experiential learning, students are, in effect, engaged in the creation ofknowledge, skills, and work attitudes through experience. Typically, this is quite differentfrom that which is learned in a classroom or laboratory. Personal interest, the motivation tosucceed on a self-defined set of technical goals, is quite different from that preselected for thestudent.

This process ultimately led to the development of a threat detectionalgorithm using YOLO3D to estimate TTC in real-world vehicles. Instructors can replicate this learning experience by incorporating hands-on activities,such as modifying the object position matrix in the Python simulation. This allows students toobserve changes in TTC as an object moves relative to the camera. With minimal guidance andclear code documentation, students can quickly grasp the core principles of optical flow andcomputer vision. This scalable learning approach

Mastery learning is based on the philosophical foundationthat any student can learn any topic given enough time and support, rejecting the premise oflearning as linear. Mastery-based grading is an assessment methodology that provides students anon-punitive way to practice these topics with feedback from their instructor. Mastery-basedgrading has been shown to have largely positive impacts on student learning by being non-punitive in nature and providing students multiple opportunities to demonstrate mastery of asubject.
