Developing a applied RFID program and curriculum of aquatic products logistics and supply chain

With the progress of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, it has gradually been used on supplying chain activity and process reengineering. To cooperate with this trend, cultivation of medium and high level personnel for aquatic products industry is an important task now or never. This research is according to the conception of three phases curriculum development consisting of preparation, development and improvement, which were proposed by Mager and Beach (1967), and then the applied program and curriculum of aquatic products RFID logistics and supply chain is established. The required work content needed by industries is obtained by investigation on industries requirements, competency analysis is then executed to understand the personnel competency needed by industries, then compare the abilities which student derived from RFID program with the personnel competency needed by industries, the teaching goal is then set up, the evaluation standards for different courses are also determined. Three fundamental required courses and six professional advanced selective courses are presented through above process. The teaching topics, schedule and contents of the program are devised according to the connecting flow map between courses. The accomplishments of this program are evaluated by number of program certificates released, number of students enrolled in this program, program achievement, and related activities carried out. Then on the following four facets iquest faculties, courses, students, overall teaching improvement, and their thirteen indexes, these indicators are used to examine the performance on running this program. Finally, the university centre committee of aquatic products RFID logistics and supply chain will censor the execution of this program, and this would enable to cultivate medium and high level personnel of RFID logistics and supply chain needed by aquatic products industry.
