-controller. The use of the graphical programming language helpedstudents understand the interfacing and control logic and motivated them to learn further on thesubjects. We plan to continuously improve the course to keep it updated with the latesttechnology. A section on programmable logic controllers as an alternative controller will beintroduced in future semesters.References [1] A.

) arrangements. PLC s are used in several industries like petrochemical, biomedical, cement manufacturing, oil and gas sector etc. Because of PLC advantages is using in many applications such: Reliability. Flexibility in programming and reprogramming. Cost effective for controlling complex systems. } Small physical size, shorter project time. High speed of operation. Ability to communicate with computer systems in the plant. Ease of maintenance /troubleshooting. Reduced space. Energy saving. c. Basic PCL wiring Students will understand the main components of PLC and the connections between these components as a big pictures. The PLC main components is shown Figure 3

specified from 0-100. The students had to divide thenumber by 100 after reading the value and convert from m/s to 1/100th m/s units when commandingthe Drone to move. Students learned to do the conversion by canceling units as in the example shownin Figure 3. We put a speed of 30 for 10 seconds to move forward. Speed of 30 in Scratch is 0.3 m/s.Figure 3. Example of How students learned Conversion for Speed.The procedure start Camp 12 Extensions and the student’s first assignment with the Drone is given inAppendix A.The first Scratch program using the drone and a condition statement had as a goal is to have the dronemove up and down based on the output of altitude sensors. At the bottom of the drone, there is an UltraSonic Sensor which helps

may be accomplished by utilizing the signal conditioning available fromwithin the myDAQ. Additionally, the signal conditioning circuit (bridge circuit and instrumentationamplifier) required for Lab 10 may be able to be simplified to minimize the time required forcalibration. These changes may also enable sufficient time for students to complete Lab 12.AcknowledgementWe would like to thank the students in the Measurements & Instrumentation course who completedthe labs and the lab assessment. Specifically, we would like to thank Seth Duke and ZacharyMansfield who provided screen captures for the student figures.Bibliography1.
