detached from such a situation. We intentionally developed activities thatchallenge students’ thoughts and beliefs, so they connect their actions as students to their lives asworking professionals.We first examine ethics on a global scale by considering engineers’ roles in promoting globalhealth and wellbeing through sustainability. Students learn about green design andmanufacturing strategies through assigned readings, a video on cradle-to-cradle design, andgameplay. Students play the In the Loop ® board game, which teaches players about the finiteresources necessary for devices such as LCD screens, MRI machines, and wind turbines [1].Throughout the game, players develop strategies to manage limited resources using circulareconomies.

The optimization can be set to favor groups withdissimilar Strengths domains among members.Students also complete assignments designed to effectively highlight the advantages of adiversity of strengths within their team and devise strategies for effective communication.Specifically, they receive training on how to understand, communicate with, and work withteammates who have varied strength profiles. Students recognize how their unique attributesposition them for meaningful and valuable contributions to their group.

This gap was addressed in this course.In summary, this designed course designed was to cover the four key segments ofcomputer vision systems, i.e. a) image acquisition, b) image processing, c) imageanalysis, and d) image understanding (pattern recognition). Table 1 illustrates thefour learning objectives of the course and their associated Bloom’s taxonomy. Toachieve these learning objectives, active teaching and learning techniques alongwith modified conventional lectures and hands-on laboratory activities were used.In addition to the assignments, and
