Companiesmay use outsourcing or internal training to obtain the necessary expertise, but that does notalways solve the problem in a time or cost effective manner. While that might be a constraint, arelatively great number of potential expert users of a specific technology are supplied fromschools and universities. One solution would be to expose more engineering students to the newest technologies, suchas Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), while they are still in school. This can lead to anincrease in the supply of acquainted users, who can become experts at later times. The problemwith such a strategy is that a technology might not be

The progression of thenascent engineer from a knowledgeable user of technology through naïve problem solver to anartisan and finally an expert is expedited by project based learning exposures.12 Whereas theanalytical underpinnings of the complex design process may best be taught in lecture formats,with abstract representations and in less open-ended laboratory experiences, the complex designprocess itself requires higher-order thought and is best accomplished by exposure to concreteapplications in a project based learning environment
