In orderto allow students to work with PLC training units individually or in small groups without requiringa large lab space, portable PLC trainers have been utilized in order to support the laboratory portionof this course for two semesters in 2017. Therefore, portable PLC trainers have been designed andbuilt to replace the out-of-date, rack-mounted PLC trainers. The final design, schematic drawings,sample lab handouts, and results from a survey given to students will be presented in this paper.Finalized designThis section includes figures

And there is a kind of a discouragement to not allow this distraction, or it's even viewed as a distraction, engineering education research, as a young faculty member… I was told specifically not to allow, my teaching not to distract from my research nor my interest in the scholarship of teaching and learning to distract from my research.The interviewee’s reflection on his pre- and post-tenure experience illuminate several layers

It has a reservoir, an overhead tank, a levelsensor, a pump and a manual valve. The pump is used to transfer water from the reservoir to anoverhead tank and the level is reported real-time by the level sensor. The manual valve connectsthe overhead tank to the reservoir and water from the overhead tank is circulated back to thereservoir when the valve is open. The control logic (manual or auto) is implemented using avirtual copy of OpenPLC [2]. In auto mode, the programmable logic controller (PLC) controlsthe pump and keeps the level of the water between

A few key observations are as follows: 1. The students appear to become well engaged in the tasks related to taking measurements in the laboratory. They tend to show enthusiasm for distributing tasks among the team members and in coming up with plans for how they will execute the measurements. They appear to enjoy the data
