develop a series of practical, handson laboratory exercises to educate students on the fundamentals of PLC application design andimplementation. In conjunction with development of laboratory courseware, an IndustrialControl Laboratory was developed and equipped with state-of-the-art PLC and controlinstrumentation and test equipment. This paper discusses the development and content of the laboratory exercises andphysical laboratory. We have now taught this course twice and have gathered studentperceptions on the quality and utility of the Industrial Control course. Students have requestedadditional emphasis in this area. We conclude the paper with plans for future courseenhancements.Overview The Electrical and Computer Engineering

increasing foreign competition alreadythreaten U.S. students’ chances of employment. A negative online reputation can beanother source of risk – but one that is within students’ reach to manage. This paperestablishes the need for teaching social media literacy at the college level, as part ofpreparing students for entering the job market. It discusses the impact of onlineinformation on employment, and presents original research data collected fromtechnology and engineering undergraduate students about their online identitymanagement practices. The paper argues for the need to teach students social medialiteracy and proposes a specific plan for online identity management that can be easilyintegrated into undergraduate curricula.The use of online

little or nointegration or collaboration between the disciplines. Often the first time that students from eachAEC discipline are exposed to working with design team members from other disciplines is inthe workplace after graduation. It is important for graduates to have an understanding of the rolesplayed by other construction professionals and the impact that their design decisions have onprojects overall. However, the isolated manner in which they are currently educated does notprovide this understanding.There has been a resistance in the past among educators to providing training in computertechnologies in Universities. Some argue that it is not the university‟s role to produce “CADtechnicians” and that there is no educational value in using
