This paper describes radio frequency identification (RFID) projects, designed and implemented by students in the College of Engineering at the University of North Texas, as part of their senior-design project requirement. The paper also describes an RFID-based project implemented at Rice Middle School in Piano, TX, which went on to win multiple prizes both at the school and regional level. The goal of the RFID endeavor is to develop an RFID elective course that is current, industry-oriented, and methodically built to enable faculty to design, develop, and deliver the course to a diverse group of engineering students. The sequence of events through which the course evolved was as follows: 1) conduct an industry-supported workshop for students in the College of Engineering with funding received from the National Science Foundation (NSF); 2) assign an RFID-based design project for the senior students who attended the workshop; 3) use the first senior design project as a model to encourage subsequent senior students to create their own RFID projects or enable the students to contact companies seeking to accomplish RFID solutions to a problem; 4) involve middle school students in RFID-based projects by using the senior design projects as an enticement; 5) use the successful projects as the basis for practical laboratory experiences to be created in a new elective course on RFID.

This article focuses on the Gender on the Borderlands issue of the periodical "Frontiers," which is based on testimonies and papers from the conference by the same name held at the Saint Mary's University on July 12-14, 2001. The readings in this collection articulate the processes of recovery in its myriad meanings: The readings thematically traverse, intersect, and connect across the six sections. Section titles denote the agency and action of living gender on the borderlands and denote scholarship about that process. The essays, which focus largely on the 20th and 21st centuries articulate themes and issues set into motion centuries ago.
