prior work, aspects of engineering education programs that undermine students’ mental healthhave been identified, along with implications for engineering educators and administrators(Beddoes & Danowitz, 2022). Policy and practice-related recommendations from that analysisincluded eliminating certain exam formats, sharing stories of “failure”, supporting faculty to bemore understanding and accommodating, and not trivializing mental health challenges. In thispaper, we turned to another aspect of the system: counseling and disability service centers. Basedon interviews with undergraduate engineering students at five universities in the United States whohad a variety of mental health diagnoses, we identified the challenges they encountered

TechnologiesThe heart of the pulse oximeter circuitry is a Silicon Laboratories (SiLabs) C8051F411microcontroller, a small-form-factor microcontroller with an integrated multi-channel, 12-bitA/D converter (ADC) and two 12-bit, current-mode D/A converters (DACs). These DACs,together with bipolar junction transistors, form the entirety of the drive circuit for the red andnear-infrared light-emitting diodes. The integrated ADC and two operational amplifierscomprise the measurement circuit. The 411 microcontroller operates on an expanded 8051architecture and was programmed using SiLabs’ integrated development environment.The sensor consists of a central red/near-infrared LED pair (Advanced Photonix PDI-E835)surrounded by four Advanced Photonix PDV-C173SM
batteriesand energy storage devices have improved significantly. However, this progress has not beenable to keep up with the development of microprocessors, memory storage, and sensors ofelectronic applications. Battery weight, lifespan and reliability often limit the abilities and therange of such applications of battery powered devices. These conventional devices weredesigned to be powered with batteries as required, but did not allow scavenging of ambientenergy as a power source. In contrast, development in wireless technology and other electroniccomponents are constantly reducing the power and energy needed by many applications. Ifenergy requirements of electronic components decline reasonably, then ambient energyscavenging and conversion could

Both the written report and poster presentationare required to include an ethics statement, addressing potential ethical concerns related to theproject.For this study, we recruited four teams of students working on their SDP. Participation in thestudy was voluntary, and all participants were electrical, computer, or telecommunicationsengineering students. Each team consisted of three to five members, and each team conducted adifferent project of their choice. Each team consulted with a faculty mentor.For our study, each participating team was asked to hold two discussions of ethics issues relatedto their projects as part of
than half of that of BARS.LimitationsThis study was conducted over a period of eight years with almost 1000 students. There areseveral limitations that must be acknowledged. First, the study was conducted at a singleinstitution and a single course, so behavioral and cultural norms that have developed at thatinstitution and in that course have not be accounted for. In addition, women students averaged15% of the overall population and students with a MBTI preference for Feeling averaged 20%;this limits the statistical power of the analyses but also may affect the behavioral and culturalnorms that develop. In other words, the results may not be applicable to another program ordiscipline that tends to attract different students.OverallOverall
