INTRODUCTION Innovative solutions to the embedded machine vision applications are critical to theprofitability of many manufacturing industries. Responding to this need, the National ScienceFoundation has actively supported a number of projects involving Machine Vision labdevelopment for undergraduate education. Samples of such projects can be found in [1-4].Some of the successful endeavors in mentoring undergraduates in computer vision research arereported in [5,6] and resulted in the design of extensive software packages for image processingand machine

. Johnson et al.7 noted that:“lecturing at best tends to focus on the lower-level of cognition and learning. When thematerial is complex, detailed or abstract; when students need to analyze, synthesize, orintegrate the knowledge being studied; or when long term retention is required, lecturingis not such a good idea.” Other researchers have found that lectures tend to alienateactive and reflective learners – the active learners do not do anything, while the reflectivelearners do not have time to reflect. As a result, both are lulled into inattention byenforced passivity8,9. Also, lectures do not adequately take into account varied studentlearning styles10,11.

The Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is one well known method ofanalyzing personality traits and behavior. It has been widely used in education to explore howstudents behave with regard to learning. Other methods exist which provide more emphasis onthe individual’s learning strengths and weaknesses.

One salient, but alsochallenging, ABET outcome is that an engineering graduates should be able to solve a well-definedengineering problem by combining theory and practice [4]. Improving student problem-solvingskills is a requisite to educate new engineers who can meet today’s challenges and become expertsin their field of interest [5,6]. As prior research shows, hands-on experiences and lab componentsof engineering courses provide critical learning experiences for students to better understandfundamental concepts [7-12]. However, many institutions have limited resources for laboratoryequipment, and these limitations inhibit student learning due to constraints on the use of

One of these expansions, the use of industrial projects, is acornerstone of the class. The course is naturally based upon the major principles of life-cycleengineering.1.1 Design EducationFor quite some time, there has been a push to improve the content and applicability ofengineering design education.
