wavelengths of light (i.e. 950nm for infrared, and 650nmfor red). This would be used for determining the final percentage that is displayed for monitoringthe oxygen saturation in the blood of the patient that is using the pulse oximeter. [3]Part of the research on pulse oximeters and the biomedical engineering involved included findingand learning of other projects that used the same technology. One such project included theimplementation of a “wireless body area network” (WBAN) for monitoring body temperature,heartbeat, and oxygen in the blood. This consisted of a somewhat sophisticated system that hasmany functions beyond the reach of the research that was being conducted for this project.However, it had many interesting anecdotes that would be

ofthe most lucrative fields. University education in computer science, computer engineering, andinformation technology is providing students with abundant future job opportunities. Althoughthe lack of a formal computing degree cannot stop young people from securing a lucrative job intechnology, an academic computing degree can be a big advantage for a candidate. Industrystatistics suggest companies and startups are more likely to recruit someone skilled with abachelor’s degree [1], [2]. In spite of the increasing demand for computing jobs, computerscience dropouts are still the highest among STEM disciplines [3]. In addition, despite theemphasis on diversity [3] in technology, the gender gap in computing education and jobs hasworsened over the
