An examination into practicesrelated to disposal of batteries can be assigned to students to learn compliance, safety and ethicalor responsible behaviors. In an elective course for Biomedical engineering titled ‘Biosensors’,we discuss whole-cell biosensors developed using synthetic biology for environmental policingthat require careful examination before they are introduced into the environment.These courses lend suitable venue for creating an awareness among students on the possible riskto health, safety and the environment by

In terms of expected competencies, modeling and simulation are expected to grow byexploiting Model-Based Systems Engineering, Immersive visualizations, and semantic webtechnologies. Also, data-driven approaches such as Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, andHigh-Performance Computing will play a key role in leveraging more complex systems.As organizations work on a digital transformation and train their workforce in the development ofnew skills, it is key that higher education institutions understand and translate the present andfuture skills and

CircuitThe base of the prototype circuit is the Sparkfun RedBoard (1). Its power is supplied through thebarrel jack, in which a 4-cell AA battery holder (2) is plugged in. It in turn outputs about 5 Voltsto the circuit. Additionally, the opening to the left of the barrel jack, which is not labeled, is themicro-USB port. The code for the program uploaded to the RedBoard through a computer. On theother end is the QWIIC Connection System. This part of the board is an inter-integrated circuit, orIIC, meant for synchronous double communication between two devices through a wire (Arrow,2020). In this case, a 4-pin JST connector (3) connects the RedBoard to the IMU (4), the InertialMeasurement Unit sensor. The RedBoard sends the code instructions to the
