involvedexperiments. A few experiments in the second course involve surge generators. The surgegenerators are all in-house design and construction. Therefore, the design information pertainingto the surge generators are available for teaching purposes. This gives students a visual tool toobserve exactly how certain devices are constructed2.Also at OSU, dissectible machines are used in the energy conversion lab. The test machines arefully dissectible and can be used to construct a wide variety of ac and dc electrical machines.This allows students the opportunity to observe the behavior and construction of various kinds ofac and dc machines2.At IIT Bombay, laboratory instruction is offered and believed to be a necessary part of theelectrical engineering

seeking the education that teaches them skills that can beutilized in real world applications. Despite the fact that colleges and universities are able toreplicate or simulate some of real-world problems within the lecture room or laboratory settings,exposing students with actual real-world experiments as well as hands-on practices can bringanother dimension to their learning and understanding of the subject. Experiential learningcreates a useful possibility to prepare students for profession or research carriers. When collegestudents are given opportunities to examine a real-world situation on campus or in the networklike the ones furnished in internships, area placements, and industrial project partnerships, themastering becomes extensively

anew set of PLC trainers that will be used in teaching the course. The paper discusses the rationalfor developing and building the trainers, and how the trainers will facilitate students learning.IntroductionThe curriculum of the Mechatronics Engineering Technology program, offered by the Departmentof Engineering Technology (ET) at Purdue University Northwest (PNW), includes a mandatorycourse on Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC). The course, which is also mandatory for allElectrical Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering Technology, and MechatronicsEngineering Technology students, includes hands-on activities that are necessary for engineeringtechnology students to know, which requires working on a dedicated PLC trainer. However
