unbiased evaluation of modelperformance. The training set constituted 70% of the data, while 20% was reserved for validation and 10% for testing. These preprocessing steps ensured that the models were trained on a diverse and well-prepared dataset, allowing forreliable performance comparisons across SegNet, U-Net, and YOLO-Seg. As shown in Table I, the dataset was efficientlylabeled using Roboflow, a free and user-friendly annotation tool. Its intuitive interface eliminates the need for specializedtraining, making it accessible even to users with minimal technical expertise. TABLE I S UMMARY OF B LOOD C ELL DATASET

positive emotional responses such as hope and empowerment. Hope is essential inenabling individuals to recognize both their capabilities and the opportunities available to themin a way that can help them engage in behavioral change (e.g. COM-B model [24]). Cultivatingpositive affective states can enhance creativity and resilience in addressing sustainabilitychallenges [15],[25]. Positive emotions are also more likely to entice students to approach a topicand engage [26].Intentionally considering emotions in the design of sustainability education in engineeringpresents an opportunity to foster a more holistic and effective learning environment.
