For many, heart attacks are unexpected and can occur at any time, especially if a person previously had a heart attack or any type of heart disease. The suddenness of a heart attack makes it difficult to detect and prevent it from occurring, resulting in death or irreversible injury to the heart. Finding a method of detecting a heart attack even five minutes before the attack occurs can be the time between life and death. My research aims to use a machine learning algorithm incorporated into a noninvasive biosensor for early detection of heart attacks. Users first enter factors such as biometrics, history of cardiac diseases, and habits. The biosensor will have a live feed of ECG data from the user. The neural network algorithm will take these initial factors as well as the ECG data to determine whether or not a user is experiencing a myocardial infarction. The neural network is trained by data from the PTB Diagnostic ECG Database from PhysioNet. This project will allow early detection of a heart attack, thus early treatment and a decreased possibility of death and long term tissue damage, and can also be used to track user heart health over a period of time.","PeriodicalId":186215,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Integrated STEM Education Conference (ISEC)","volume":"133 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125943277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper studies three scenarios that come close to the real situation of a specific factory: the first one considers only the requirements of the devices and the physical condition in the factory, based on which, the second takes the resting time of the employee into account, and the third one attempts to make the workers work off-peak in order to further increase the efficiency. To transform a real-life problem into a mathematic model, we map the condition of the factory into a graph where the devices are the nodes and the paths between the devices are the edges. To find the required minimum labor force, we use the Floyd's Algorithm to generate the complete graph and calculate the Hamiltonian cycle of it. To distribute the tasks evenly to every employee, in the first and the second scenarios, we equally separate the whole graph into several sub-graphs based on the minimum spanning tree, resulting in four and five sub-graphs respectively. However, for the third scenario, with the advantage of working off-peak, letting all the employees follow the Hamiltonian cycle is more efficient than letting each of them be responsible for each sub-graph. In this case, working off-peak requires the least labor force and provides the time to rest and eat for the workers. This model of employee scheduling problem can be utilized and expanded to many other fields including nursing patients in a hospital etc.","PeriodicalId":186215,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Integrated STEM Education Conference (ISEC)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133094637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This plant exhibits a gating function wherein sequential activations of a “trigger hair,” a sense organ that detects disturbances in the trap, will cause the trap to shut. We examine how both the behavior and spike-characteristics of the Venus Flytrap respond to robust changes in ambient temperatures. We discovered that heat dramatically prolonged the gating function and also appears to simultaneously alter the structure of triggered action potentials; specifically, the ‘memory’ of the trap increased from 1 minute to 2.667 minute from room temperature to an elevated temperature (>30°C). We suspect that temperature-dependent proteins could account for the increase in plant “memory” between action potentials in heated plants. To test out this hypothesis, we will collect more data at a broader range of temperatures and examine changing protein expression profiles. This past year, we expanded our project to include an outreach component, wherein we designed and presented an hour-and-a-half long workshop for elementary school-age children. By evaluating growth through a self-designed SGO (student growth objective), we were able to quantify and evaluate our results and look to present at more venues. It was observed that after presentation the children's knowledge in the Pannell center about Venus Flytraps increased by 8.45% and in Plainsboro, the children's knowledge increased by 21.23%, as assessed through SGOs.","PeriodicalId":186215,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Integrated STEM Education Conference (ISEC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128666721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many efforts to increase minority participation focus on support structures to help this group “get through” the pipeline. However, less attention has been paid to increasing their intrinsic motivation to pursue careers in STEM. Our work is focused on increasing this intrinsic motivation, looking at role models as external influences. Underrepresented minorities are faced with a limited role model pool and in many cases with role models (who we call outliers) whose paths to success and extraordinary achievements are difficult to emulate for the large majority of students. In this study of a representative sample of underrepresented minority students at a predominantly white small private liberal arts university, we show that students are accepting of non-outlier role models who are relatable and embody the qualities typically associated with the existing role models that they value. The evidence suggests that a larger more diverse pool of role models, that represent more feasible paths to success, can be created for this group. We envision a “People Like Me” website based on such a pool as a tool for increasing motivation and persistence of underrepresented minorities in their pursuit of STEM professions.","PeriodicalId":186215,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Integrated STEM Education Conference (ISEC)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128586669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To be effective, these interventions have to incorporate trending knowledge from cybersecurity and other related domains while allowing for experiential learning through hands-on experimentation. To date, the traditional interdisciplinary approach for cybersecurity training has infused political science, law, economics or linguistics knowledge into the cybersecurity curriculum, allowing for limited experimentation. Cybersecurity students were left with little opportunity to acquire knowledge, skills, and abilities in domains outside of these. Also, students in outside majors had no options to get into cybersecurity. With this in mind, we developed an interdisciplinary course for experiential learning in the fields of cybersecurity and interaction design. The inaugural course teaches students from cybersecurity, user interaction design, and visual design the principles of designing for secure use — or secure design — and allows them to apply them for prototyping of Internet-of-Things (IoT) products for smart homes. This paper elaborates on the concepts of secure design and how our approach enhances the training of the future cybersecurity workforce.","PeriodicalId":186215,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Integrated STEM Education Conference (ISEC)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132241187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
