Students’ engagements with the MITS/DATS systemalso show strong disparities from different level of classes.ConcernsBased on the outcomes and evaluations of different assessments, we summarize that thedeveloped internet-accessible teaching software (MITS/DATS) is convincingly suitable andapplicable for medical imaging education to undergraduates. We plan to scale up our currentMITS/DATS system to a new level to create a National Medical Imaging Education Portal. Wewill address the following concerned questions:Web-based Learning (Functions and Formats): Online teaching material can be establishedthrough a website, though the challenge is in the interactivity between instructor/student and theteaching material.

Commonly considered as a complex andknowledge demanding process, management of supply chain can interest significantly with theimplementation of RFID technology [1].RFID technology has grown to become a innovative element in supply chain management. 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. As real-timeinformation is made obtainable, planning and administration processes can be extensivelyimproved as well [1]. Applying RFID technology

The two cohorts faced other challenges. One group came from aprivate university (University A) with a substantial international population. The other groupcame from a state university (University B) with very few students who were not raised in theMidwest. One class was twice the size of the other. The largest challenge was that one grouphad completed several design projects in previous classes and anticipated a design project in thiscourse.
