Although students identified a range of learningopportunities, the most common milestones originated from students’ courses, extracurricularactivities, mentorship opportunities, and team projects. From these milestones, we found avariety of professional skills and competencies identified as significant by the students:communication skills, navigating group dynamics, and planning/organization abilities are mostprominent. Finally, we noticed differences in the proportions of milestones and skills whenanalyzing other factors such as: sex, grade point average, citizenship status, minority identity

We plan to scale up our currentMITS/DATS system to a new level to create a National Medical Imaging Education Portal.

RFIDis not just a substitution for barcodes. RFID ensures that accuracy in inventory control and realtime product information available to make decisions. It makes the supply chain significantlymore accurate and improves the reliability and efficiency of the entire chain.

He planned three different colors: abrown foundation representing the dirt, followed by yellow changing gradually to greenand finally blue. He used Shibori techniques to design the bamboo branch, and usedscraps of silk to determine the combination of mordant and dye to yield the shades hedesired.The students kept the scarves they dyed, so photos of them
