Since UT Arlington is home to the most diverse engineering program in NorthTexas, the College of Engineering presents all of these engineering areas to the campers in thesummer camps which gives a broad picture of what engineering can be. By holding the campson the UT Arlington campus the College is also able to showcase the campus and its greatamenities to these potential future UT Arlington engineering students

It is imperative to choose a company that can supply the volume of devices required for students year-after-year, and has a stature that makes it likely the company will exist for the foreseeable future. This latter aspect is critical to ensure adequate technical support is available and to ensure the selected mobile platform will be available for future students. 6. Measurement
