This paper presents a joint effort between engineering students from various majors, and their advisors to design a sophisticated global monitoring system to monitor location of children, Alzheimer patients and other valuable items. This project was part of a capstone design course developed to introduce engineering students to real world problems. This funded project was developed in response to growing problems with children abduction and wondering off Alzheimer patients. This invention has received extensive media coverage since its development. Over 30 million people worldwide heard about the project and its abilities through various media channels such as TV, Internet, radio, and newspapers. This paper discusses the development process from conception to finished product.
