[4] Various approaches havebeen found to be successful through the assessment of sustainability knowledge and skillslearned in activities, modules, and courses and across the civil engineering curriculum [5].Among those approaches, integrating sustainability in the capstone design is one of the mosteffective teaching approaches. A capstone course is an integral part of Civil Engineeringundergraduate education. It requires students to apply knowledge and skills acquired in earliercourse work from a Civil Engineering curriculum in a design that solves real-world problems ormimics real-world projects [6

], but ECE students rarely take these courses from technology departments. A survey ofthe courses offered in the ECE curriculum by the four year universities in Virginia list no coursesin PLC based control. However, there are numerous reports on innovative approached to teachPLC in engineering technology programs [11-12]. To offset these missing skills in ECEgraduates, a capstone project as a pilot course was introduced in this work. The PLC basedcontrol can effectively be taught in a hands-on laboratory setting which is the focus of this paper.. Hardware and software integration using PLCs, and active lab-based learning is more effectivein these types of courses for engineering students [13], [14].Use of industrial robots in manufacturing

Instead, ABET [2] requires students complete a “major design experience” that is intended toprepare students for professional practice. The most common course in engineering programs that providesthis major design experience is the capstone course [3]. Capstone courses typically simulate a challengingdesign experience similar to the
