Title
Enhancing STEM Education through Project-Based Learning: Integrating Computer Vision in Undergraduate Courses
Synopsis
This paper explores the integration of advanced computer vision technologies into undergraduate STEM education through a project-based learning approach at Utah Valley University. Utilizing YOLOv12 and RoboFlow’s auto-labeling tools, students engaged in a hands-on capstone project focused on autonomous vehicle safety. This pedagogical strategy aimed to bridge theoretical knowledge with practical application, emphasizing the learning process over technical performance metrics by significantly reducing manual annotation time.
