CRFID Recognized for Outstanding Participation
CRFID, the IEEE council on RFID, was recognized and awarded for Outstanding participation in the RFID Journal Live Conference awards ceremony on April 4, 2019. Fei-You, incoming president for the Council on RFID was present to receive this prestigious award. This represents the 13th annual conference on RFID prepared and presented by IEEE and the Council on RFID presented during the RFID Journal Live conference. Papers and proceedings will be available online on the IEEE website.
Mega-Challenge Participants Given More Opportunity
This year, the three finalist teams for the IEEE Educational Mega-Challenge: Smart Cities were given a wider remit in that they were not constrained to just using RAIN RFID technologies. Teams from Florida Institute of Technology, a combined team representing R & N Systems Design (from Christian Brothers University and the University of Memphis), and Washington University in St. Louis rose to the challenge and provided solutions that addressed farming, tool tracking, and RFID-enabled roadways respectively. Washington University in St. Louis won with their “Pathway to Smart Infrastructure: Hybrid RFID” solution after delivering a well-rehearsed presentation and surviving a rigorous cross-examination by a panel of ten industry judges.

2019 IEEE RFID Smart Cities Educational Mega Challenge Announced
The IEEE Council on RFID once again challenges undergraduate engineering students to team up to offer a Smart Cities problem and solution. The competition, introduced in 2017, draws proposals from around the world. After the finalists are selected, they each present a 3-minute video, followed by a live presentation at the IEEE RFID 2019 Conference in Phoenix, Arizona. Challengers are at their best answering tough questions in real-time from the judges from RAIN RFID Alliance, AIM Global, and RFID Journal Live! representatives. The finalists received a trophy for their school, certificates for each team member, and split $5,000 student travel grants donated by RAIN and IEEE CRFID. If you are
