The RFID center consists of four faculty members, graduate and undergraduate students from both the College of Business and College of Engineering. The main function of the lab is to identify potential areas of cutting edge research and development in the field of RFID, and provide education on this emerging technology to current and future professionals in and around the Miami valley. The following are some of the current activities of this center:

• Undergraduate level courses: MIS 480, Introduction to RFID for Business is a new course currently offered by Dr. Sengupta as a special topics elective. A full minor program centered around RFID is also currently in the planning process.
