RFID users basically need to assess the capability of such a technology, whichdepends on: • the quality of the RFID reads • the reliability of tags and readers in different environments • the impact of electromagnetic wave interference • the effect of changing distances or angles between readers and tagsTherefore, the existence of RFID laboratories is very important to providing testing results andconclusions as well as improving the RFID materials.

“semester project on steroids”, students at theOregon Institute of Technology set the lofty goal of designing and constructing a RapidPrototyping (RP) machine based on an international community of “Rep-Rappers” (ReplicatingRP Machines) that was started at the University of Bathe, England [1]. The idea is based onbuilding machines that can reproduce almost all of the components to make copies of themselvesusing the RP process, and through collaboration with other groups, implement improvements tothe previous generation of machines. By looking at the machine in terms of subsystems,multiple engineering strategies and tools were employed to complete the project. The studentsalso had to consult with experts from other departments, local industry and

of their produced designs areusually evaluated to access the level of students’ attainment of the program educationaloutcomes. However, in technology-sensitive areas such as digital design, embedded processingand system-level engineering, software design packages are continually updated or replaced bymore powerful, more efficient, and more complex design packages. Similarly, hardwareplatforms such as field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are continually improving in terms oftheir functionalities, and capabilities. Therefore, in our view, capstone design projects should notonly be open-ended and realistic, but should also prepare student to work in rapidly-changingprofessional environment.The ever-increasing complexity of digital systems

They also found thatwhile using light sensors (a closed loop system) gave a much better tracking accuracy, thesystem will lose its position if the Sun is blocked by clouds. There conclusion was that a Sun-tracking formula overall gave a significant improvement in the tracking accuracy.The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL

occurs because a large officeoften approaches projects in a linear fashion, with specialists controlling the phases that requiretheir expertise. This is unfortunate, because every phase demands design expertise and thosewho organize their projects this way are missing many opportunities to improve their designs.Conversely, in a small team organized architectural office the designer is usually heavilyinvolved throughout the process, in every phase from making sure that an appropriate site isselected to assisting with the building photography after construction is complete. This occursbecause small offices often approach projects with a team that is usually led by the designer whostays involved with the project from beginning to end. The project

impact and are impacted by the system. From my observations of student design reviews and my coursework in cognitive engineering, I had come to realize that more explicit integration of stakeholder considerations could improve the effectiveness of complex systems designs developed by students and those created in industry. When I first started down this path, I had envisioned employing a scholarship of application approach to this dissertation, by discovering something within the literature of engineering design education, cognitive engineering and/or aircraft design that I could modify and apply to a classroom setting. Yet, I quickly learned that no one discipline had the answer on how to
