inverter to convert solar cells’ DC output to AC for interfacing to theelectrical grid. In the MET session they discussed requirements for mounting the solar cellarrays and investigated strength and elasticity parameters for support beams. The IT session wasa lively activity to demonstrate the benefits of lean manufacturing processes using nuts, bolts,and washers. The Careers session was similar to the one from 2010, and the Campus Lifesession was described above.We notified the local media the day before the conference, but only one affiliate came for the2011 conference. We thought a day would be sufficient notice because of today’s rapid newscycle. In retrospect, perhaps we should have notified them a few days in advance.Feedback and Lessons

released a report, titled, “The Rise ofAsian Americans” (Pew Research Center, 2012) based on the 2010 U.S. census (U.S.Census Bureau, 2012). The title referred, in part, to the changing demographic andsocioeconomic trends. In 1960, Asian Americans comprised less than one percent ofthe U.S. population, but account for 5.6% today—becoming the fastest growing groupin the country. Immigration is driving much of this demographic change (Alba & Nee,2003; Lee & Bean, 2010). China and India have now surpassed Mexico as the leadingsources of new immigrants to the United States. Demographers project that, by 2065,immigrants from Asia will comprise 38% of all immigrants to the country. As a result,Asian Americans will nearly triple in size, and

Figure 3: Functional Diagram of MAX30100 Figure 4: MAX30100 with Breakout boardTo start reading from the MAX30100, the chip needs to first be set to a mode of operation, forexample SpO2 + HR mode, which can be done through the registers [19]. This allows the sensorto detect heartbeats as well as start reading IR and Red-light data through the photodetector. TheDC signal needs to be removed from the raw IR data to read the hearth rate and oxygensaturation properly, leaving the AC part only. Only the light absorbance levels from the bloodare needed, which means other absorbance from surrounding tissues and anything else in thefinger and

only under DCconditions. It was only after the seventh week, that small signal AC analysis of transistorconfigurations and its applications were studied. These delayed the PBL design process, andshifted much of the design work to the end of the semester, overwhelming and frustrating thestudents.To overcome these difficulties, a PBL project with a guided design method was introduced in thefall semesters of 2009 and 2010. The guided design component permitted us to introduce threefundamental parts of an FM or an AM transmitter/receiver circuit to guide the students in thedesign of their circuits.The PBL project with the guided design component “PBGD” added a fifth objective:e) To guide the students’ learning with experiences that build on
