read and perform the lab manual,providing valuable feedback to refine the content.For the faculty teaching the course without prior experience with PLC, the course would requiresignificant time commitment to become familiar with the PLC software and to learn how tooperate the PLC and its components. To prepare for teaching the course, several faculty membersattended on-site PLC seminars by inviting an engineer from Schneider Electric. Additionally, theengineer provided the full support by developing and coteaching the course with two otherfaculty members.Besides refinements to improve the recently developed laboratory experiments, additionalexperiments are currently being planned to expand the course due to upcoming transition fromquarter to

prerequisites are omitted from the training data as outliers. To address the impactof noise in the dataset (e.g., outliers and missing parts), which can significantly impairclassification accuracy and prediction quality, we excluded data older than seven years. Thisdecision considers various evolving factors affecting academic performance, such as curriculumchanges, teaching methodologies, policy shifts, and extraordinary circumstances like theCOVID-19 pandemic. Aberrations in student records, like unexpectedly low grades from studentswith otherwise high prerequisite GPAs, are considered noise. These anomalies, possibly due topersonal or medical reasons, are treated as outliers for data integrity.3.3 Feature EngineeringGiven the differences among
