Engineering Marshall University Huntington, WV 25705 zhup@marshall.edu Abstract Medical image segmentation is crucial in diagnostics and treatment planning, enabling precise identification of structures within medical images for accurate analysis and decision-making. However, many medical professionals face challenges in leveraging deep learning models due to the technical coding skills required. This study addresses this gap by providing a practical guide to using three prominent deep learning models—SegNet, U-Net, and YOLO-Seg

We are also planning toarrange a multi-semester project to cover both the VLSI design and testing. In the VLSIdesign course (e.g. EE 548 - Low Power VLSI), students are asked to design the physicallayouts of VLSI circuits. Once the designs are completed, students will submit their designsto MOSIS [12] for fabrication. In the next semester, students will take the VLSI testing (EE549) course. When the real fabricated chips are shipped back to students, they will utilize theknowledge they learned in VLSI testing class to thoroughly test the fabricated circuits

They tended to plan longer ahead and then strived for fast executionwhile their US counterparts usually approached the problem by experimenting with varioussolutions and correcting them along the way if faced with an obstacle. Looking at the differencebetween university and corporate culture we observed: IEP students were much younger thantheir German program counterparts and showed well trained analytic skills and impressivepresentation techniques.

. This article will discuss how IUPUI has used this connection to promoteSTEM growth. Introduction The number of American high school graduates entering engineering and technology careers incollege has fallen significantly in the past decade. [1] One of the major ways that colleges can reversethis trend is by outreach to minority students and females, both of whom are significantly under-represented in engineering and technology careers, and encourage them to pursue STEM plans of study.Currently, minorities and females are so underrepresented in such programs, that they comprise less than20% of the total students.

In contrast, value-related constructs predicted careerplans more accurately. Interestingly, Jones, et al. reported that the means for the aboveexpectancy-related beliefs, value-related beliefs, and career plans rated in the upper-third duringthe entire first year, but the means were lower at the end of the first year than at thebeginning[11].
