The addition of more case studies and field tripswill be beneficial and could be incorporated into the capstone course which likely will include aformal laboratory session. The inclusion of detailed case studies in the capstone course willallow students to gain insight into the information and challenges an owner or developer mustsift through and overcome while generating a pro forma for a project.

RFID is a field where acomprehensive ECET education can be put to use.An RFID course is an appropriate capstone for an AS degree program for two reasons. First, itcan give students a chance to reach the “synthesis” level of learning. After taking introductorycourses in RF, computer networking, and controls, RFID allows students integrate these separate“silos of knowledge” into one system. The second reason for presenting RFID in the AS degreeis that the level of knowledge required is appropriate for sophomore ECET students. Because ofthe RFID manufacturers’ desire to make their equipment user friendly, a great depth

As most of the AM parts are built layer by layer, it isclear that parts manufactured from AM processes would perform differently compared toparts manufactured from conventional processes such as casting and injection molding. Sincestudents often rely on AM for part fabrication in courses and capstone projects, and industriescould adopt AM to produce components for their products, there is a
