RFID-Based Multidisciplinary Educational Platform to Improve the Engineering and Technology Curriculums
Yelamarthi, Kumar
Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, v13 n5 p46-51 Oct-Dec 2012
Multidisciplinary projects involving electrical engineering (EE), mechanical engineering (ME), and computer engineering (CE) students are both exciting and difficult to conceptualize. Answering this challenge, this paper presents a multidisciplinary educational platform on radio frequency identification-based assistive devices. The combination of software, hardware, circuit, and mechanical design makes this platform an excellent choice for undergraduate student projects and curriculum development. Through working on these multidisciplinary projects, students will be able to study a complex engineering and technology system that: a) exposes them to applied and cutting-edge technologies, b) encourages them to participate in an integrated, multidisciplinary curriculum, and c) trains them in methods of applied technology and the skills necessary to transition from academic to professional environments. (Contains 6 figures and 3 tables.)
