Wireless Sensor Network for Intra-Venous Fluid Level Indicator ApplicationAbstractWireless sensor networks use small, low-cost embedded devices for a wide range ofapplications such as industrial data monitoring and controlling, asset monitoring andtracking, remote metering, automotive networks, wireless data acquisition and processingand home automation. This paper aims to implement a low cost, low power wirelesssensor network application inside the hospital premises. More specifically, an automatedsystem will be designed to detect the level of the Intra-Venous fluid and to send thiscritical data over a wireless transmitter. The data sent will be displayed in a dashboardplaced at a nurse station. This
Session 2570 Surviving Against All Odds Saundra D. Johnson, Director, Minority Engineering Program The Pennsylvania State UniversityINTRODUCTIONWith the political questioning and evaluation of affirmative action, programs funded by state andfederal dollars are under constant scrutiny. Programs supporting underrepresented minorities are,unfortunately, frequent targets for cutbacks. In the eyes of some universities which sponsor pre-college, undergraduate, and/or graduate programs for underrepresented minorities, it is only a matterof time before court decisions in California and

and EnvironmentalEngineering, 1947 12th North Street, PA 19122.AbstractThe retention of underrepresented minorities has been a major concern for many colleges in theUnited States (U.S.). A study conducted in 2020 shows that, in U.S. colleges, the gap in persistenceand retention rates between minority students and Caucasian students is likely as wide as 24%.Therefore, it is necessary to strategically bridge the afore-stated gap through strategicinterventions. This research proposal will begin by analyzing the first two years of engineeringcollege students’ education to identify key factors that are attritional to minority students’persistence and retention rates and will then suggest appropriate interventions that couldpotentially reduce the
