ABSTRACT
RFID is a technology many organizations feel will change the way companies approach logistics, engineering, and manufacturing. Corporations have embraced the opportunity to use this technology and have developed and manufactured costeffective tags over the last decade. With the development of a passive tag standard created by EPC Global, the reality of the RFID tags reaching a price that is costeffective may be realized. In order to support the industry’s need for developing the manpower and future workforce in this technology, universities such as the University of Nebraska and Oklahoma State University have added RFID to their curriculum. These universities are a part of the Center for Engineering Logistics and Distribution (CELDi), which is supported by the National Science Foundation for industry and university integrated research.
