Title: Board 156: Concrete Tools to Practice Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging in the STEM Classroom
In this paper, the primary author offers a framework developed through action research as a participant in the CISTEME365 program of how STEM educators can ensure their students can access these critical skills to be agile problem solvers in all their coursework and careers. The science teacher's framework for a DEIB-aware classroom consists of five elements: intentional grouping, student-driven labs, project-based assessments, presentations, and reflections.  more » « less

    With a steady rise in the aging population, researchers predict that one out of every six people will be over the age of 65 by 2020. Seniors need to monitor their health consistently as chronic diseases such as diabetes, arthritis, dementia, are highly prevalent among them. This has lead to an increase in the use of devices such as sensors, cameras, and robots, with technologies such as artificial intelligence and the internet of medical things. These can help in designing innovative solutions for improving the daily life of seniors and helping them to be more independent. Though the recent advancements in technology can help in developing a better assisted living, the key challenge is to make a reliable framework that can help the consumer in using those product at ease. In challenging times, such as the current pandemic, the need for a framework that can help in reducing social interaction is particularly significant. In this paper, we discuss an interactive framework with the help of a smart camera and smart speakers that can help seniors to manage their essential resources at ease. This Internet of Things based framework can help seniors in having an organized inventory without ever needing to leave their home.

  2. Unlike the younger population that uses wearables such as smartwatches for monitoring health on a daily basis, elderly people need assistance in the use of technology and interpreting the data obtained through these smart connected frameworks. The current monitoring systems are primarily designed to monitor the physiological signals on a daily basis. The aim of this proposed research, Easy-Assist, is to help older people to maintain their emotional well-being. This research is focused on developing a wearable affective framework, which can help in detecting the emotions of the user in addition to monitoring their physiological signals. The proposed framework can be used in an automated assisted living environment, where the user's emotional state can be balanced using a haptic-based emotional elicitation system after the user's emotion is recognized, detected and interpreted in real-time. The proposed framework is validated using a fall detection algorithm deployed in a custom-built watch wearable, built using off-the-shelf components and an emotion detection framework built using a single board computer. A dataset of 21700 samples acquired using the proposed framework yielded a maximum efficiency of 97.25%, 96 %, and 94 %, in classifying the state and emotion classes into Alert, Active and Normal classes respectively, using multi-class SVM model. The overall latency of the proposed research was in few orders of milli-seconds.

  3. This paper presents a framework for cloud users who wish to specify their experiments in the P4 language and map them to FPGAs in the Open Cloud Testbed (OCT). OCT consists of P4-enabled FPGA nodes that are directly connected to the network via 100 gigabit Ethernet connections, and which support runtime reconfiguration. Cloud users can quickly prototype and deploy their P4 applications through our framework, which provides the necessary infrastructure including a network interface shell for the P4 logic. We have provided several examples using this framework that demonstrate designs running at the 100 GbE line rate with the support of runtime reconfiguration for P4 functions. By combining an existing network interface shell and P4 toolchain on FPGAs, we offer a framework that enables users to rapidly execute their P4 experiments in real time on FPGAs.
