Zhuang and Sudhakar developed anundergraduate machine vision laboratory under the sponsorship from National ScienceFoundation, Cognex Corporation, and Florida Atlantic University1. This laboratory supporteda 3-credit senior-level machine vision course called, Introduction to Machine Vision. Most ofthe laboratory experiments were design-oriented and open-ended. A more recent studyproposed a comprehensive program to introduce vision technologies to manufacturing andmechanical engineering technology students at Oregon Institute of Technology2. The studyidentified software and computer programming as the major barriers that keep manufacturingand

There were two goals of this project: 1)implement a challenge-based learning module (based on the Legacy Cycle framework) todiagnose skin cancer with optical spectroscopy in a junior to senior-level undergraduate courseon biomedical optics and 2) assess the value of this module compared to previous years' lecture-only method of teaching optical spectroscopy. The experimental design was introduced over onesemester. The module was assessed using 3 indicators: comparing test answers between 5semesters worth of classes, a 1 page study guide on an emerging technology of skin cancerdiagnosis created by the

IntroductionEmotion plays an important role in communications, conveying essential information beyondwords. This is particularly evident in enhancing Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and SpeechEmotion Recognition (SER). The latter is a specialized area within Automatic SpeechRecognition (ASR) and focuses on identifying human emotions, which is crucial to advancingHCI. Recognizing emotions in speech, such as anger or joy, allows AI systems to interpret andrespond more effectively to human expressions.Emotion recognition technology can be integrated into engineering

moving away from the one kind of learningthat we know to be most effective, namely, one-on-one instruction. As the need for good teachersat the university level continues to grow, we see this paradox intensifying. And we see theproblem manifesting itself in a particularly nasty way in curricula that predominantly focus oncultivating abstract reasoning ability in future scientists and engineers. The data tells us that aseducators, we are not producing students able to successfully employ context-independentreasoning in technical domains. This is true despite the fact that there has been great progressmade in developing educational technologies and aides for teaching formal, context -independentdeductive reasoning; we refer here to an abundance of
