Linux is used for firmware compilation, Windows is used for debugging and visualizing what is happening with the program. OpenCV is an open-source software library that provides tools for computer vision and machine learning. This toolbox enables us to use drones and AI to automatically detect wildfires. With OpenCV that are certain detection methods, one of them being color segmentation. Color Segmentation uses HSV color space to isolate fire like colors, masks are then created for each color (like red, orange, and yellow) and then combined to highlight what represents a wildfire. OpenCV also uses contour analysis, which allows for data to be filtered

The literature has indicated that one of the bestways to learn computer programming in engineering education is to learn it within disciplinarycontexts [4], [5]. Thus, the extra class periods were used to connect the dots between thecomputer programming they were learning and how it was used over the next three years acrossdifferent engineering disciplines. This led to us calling the more rapid version of the courseApplications of Engineering Computing.

The classroom was able to act and serve as a space that tugs on the interdisciplinary aspect of AI and use it in creative ways that bolster the academic outcome of her career aspirations in the form of labor market outcomes. This is important at the HSCC as computing culture is a “brotopia” and centered in STEM that may not have given a student like Mia the space to understand the content and create the connections between her interests and the computing field that we see in this classroom is helping in developing her future career aspirations in that help in her valuing the class and connecting her
