Acquisition and Analysis in the ClassroomAbstractPulse oximetry is an essential health-monitoring technique in both clinical and home careenvironments. From an engineering education perspective, pulse oximeter technology offersexcellent study material in areas such as light-based sensor construction, embedded systemdesign, control theory, and digital signal processing. However, off-the-shelf pulse oximeters donot provide suitable educational platforms for several reasons: (a) their design layouts andinternal data flows are inaccessible to the user, (b) units that display photo-plethysmographic/pulse waveforms or make those signals available to the user provide data that have already beenfiltered in an unspecified manner, and (c) sensor sites are

ConclusionsAt our own institution, as the people who would hire visiting scholars to enrich and expand ourfaculty development opportunities, we believe we have found an effective balance betweeninvited guests and internal work. We find that our work within CCLE and a number of othercommunity venues (e.g., Teaching Academy, Center for Biology Education, EngineeringLearning Center) helps us create a context for appreciating the ideas of visiting scholars. Wehave created ongoing partnerships and consultative relationships with scholars from otherinstitutions that have helped us create new programs and advance our

Santos, The George Washington University ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2024 Threat Modeling for Optimal Enterprise Protections Against Known Cybersecurity ThreatsAbstract— To prioritize limited resources available to protect against cybersecurity attacks,organizations must adhere to risk management practices. These in turn necessitate a properframing of risk, which requires a ‘set of triplets’ to be understood – (i) a scenario in which athreat exploits a vulnerability, (ii) the likelihood, and (iii) the impact of the scenario takingplace. While the other elements of risk triplets are relatively easy to assess, the threat factorremains the most elusive. The

Additionally, we invited a series of guest speakers in thecategories of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial mindsets to raise awareness of the differencesbetween these two concepts, and demonstrate how adopting an entrepreneurial mindset couldbenefit their research and scientific career.Our participation in the CoP meetings thus broadened our educational approach, helping usintegrate entrepreneurial concepts into engineering learning, and completing our toolbox withnew approaches we are constantly using for enhancing students’ education at the collegiate level.Sustainable Design and Environmental

economics demands that the cost to this decision making process be kept to a minimum.Simulation plays a vital role in trying out the various options the technologist might considerwithout expending costly resources. More could be achieved on a circuit simulator includingsimulated measurements as compared to actually doing it on the lab station. The computer withits capacity for iterative calculation also gives a global perspective as compared to solutionaround a single operating point in a circuit. Electrical Engineering Technology education atPurdue provides this critical training in simulation. Circuit simulation using PSpice provides thevertical threads that run through the course sequences.
