2(b) – was underway with the initial aim of having an integrated Soft PLCand I/O components lab console simulator (termed the PLC System Simulator) and to have aworking prototype in the shortest period of time possible to meet the immediate needs of thecoming semester. The plan was to build the software with four major components: Fig 2. (a) The Lab PLC and Components (b) The Lab Console Simulator i) The Soft PLC should be programmed in Ladder Diagram language (should support a subset of most commonly used instructions, but include advanced instructions available in modern PLCs, such as, log, exponential and trigonometric instructions) and should be able to execute the program. ii) The ladder diagram

project. Teamwork, proper scheduling, and organization are crucial elements in ensuring thesuccess of any project. By working together effectively, adhering to a well-planned schedule, andmaintaining proper organization, the project team can streamline their efforts, minimize errors,and maximize efficiency, ultimately leading to the achievement of their goals and the delivery ofhigh-quality results to the stakeholders. Also, document the process, results, and conclusions in acomprehensive report. Documenting the process, results, and conclusions in a comprehensivereport is essential for several reasons. Firstly, it provides a record of the project's journey, allowingfuture teams to learn from successes and failures. Secondly, it serves as a

requirements have changed as thecampuses and student focus have changed. The following paragraphs describe this change andPNW’s plans to keep senior capstone projects relevant through 2030 [11].Organization of Senior Design courseEngineering Technology programs have been in place at Purdue University Northwest since the1960s. As soon as Bachelor of Science Degrees in Engineering Technology became available,senior capstone courses were part of the curriculum. Initially at PNW, these courses wereinformal, often did not meet on a regular class schedule and consisted of a project at the student’splace of work loosely supervised by a faculty member. While this was an informal process, itwas typically successful because of the industrial basis for the

IP address to ensure stable accessto the internet, to which an online user interface and data cloud are connected on the consumerside. The online interface allows the user to view pictures in the data cloud and request picturesto be taken directly from the device itself. A plan to possibly be implemented by futureresearchers is for the device to capture images and send them to the cloud at regular intervals, butthe current focus of the team is to have the device send pictures per request of the user.The device itself is enclosed in a mixture of Grey Pro resin and PLA. It is powered by a 12 Vsolar PV panel installed beside the probe itself as shown in Figure 4. This PV module includesseveral valve-regulated sealed lead acid/absorbent glass

-AI for enhanced learningRecent papers have explored the integration of G-AI into student learning, alongside conductingdata analysis on its effects on student learning and creativity. Despite these efforts, considerablework remains in identifying effective strategies for implementing AI within educationalframeworks to boost student learning outcomes 13,14 . One such work by Michel et al. discussesutilization of personalized feedback and supplementary learning resources with G-AI to promoteself-directed learning, especially among students with language barriers, learning disabilities, orthose engaged in distance learning 15 . Additionally, their work also mentions ideas for instructorsto create lesson plans, resources, and assessments

This includes developing strategies to promote the judicious use of AItools, incorporating AI concepts across foundational EE courses, and establishing collaborationswith industry partners to ensure the relevance and applicability of AI skills in real-worldscenarios.In conclusion, the integration of AI in EE education presents a transformative opportunity toenhance teaching and learning experiences. However, its successful implementation requires athoughtful and critical approach, balancing the benefits of AI tools with the development ofessential problem-solving and decision-making skills. As educators and researchers, it is

It isobvious students will expect that they will receive at least same or equivalent knowledge throughonline compare to face to face interaction. For this reason, clear and specific learning objectivesneeds to be set. Also, short-term plan and long-term goal of the course need to set very beginning.Then need to develop a methodology how effective it is possible to deliver in online system. Afterestablishing specific learning objectives of the course, need to determine evidence students reallyachieve the goal or objective of the course. Student should have clear vision of understanding whatexactly they need to do to show as
