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

, less than 5% of all adults employed in STEM are deaf [4]. The NationalScience Foundation [5] and National Academy of Engineering [6], [7] have started to encourageresearch initiatives in inclusion and diversification in undergraduate classes, especially inScience, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields. The NSF and NAE havemade these research initiatives a priority because studies have shown that teams that are diverseare more effective at problem solving [8], making decisions [9], and ultimately have a greaterimpact on the quality of science produced [10].
