disciplines would expand the dataset in interesting directions.However, the top line conclusions of this study -- engineering disciplines have differentproportions of lab classes, but regardless of rank, EE programs include laboratories in 50% ofrequired courses and ME programs include laboratories in 40% of their required courses -- arepowerful indicators that laboratories are an important part of engineering education. Improvingthe teaching of laboratories has the potential to improve almost half of the classes that engineerstake, so further research on the subject of engineering laboratory pedagogy is important work.REFERENCES[1] L.

Through the assessment, the viability of the virtual reality-based laboratory is studiedregarding the effectiveness of it as an education tool. Recommendations are also made forinstitutions interested in designing similar experiences.1 IntroductionEngineering education requires the transmission of information that provides students with anunderstanding of physical phenomena. Traditionally, engineering education utilizes laboratoryexperimentation to reinforce the learning experience 1 . As such, laboratories are an embedded partof scientific teaching as a whole 2

logic elements.While many engineering programs have already implemented PLC courses in their curricula,instruction remains lacking in many others. Since engineering students with some PLC trainingmay have better career opportunities than those who do not, this may represent an area forimprovement for some programs.Introduction to Projects and Tools is a freshman level course offered to electrical engineeringstudents at [XXX University]. This one-credit laboratory course serves to provide students withhands-on experience with a variety of projects such as the implementation of 555 timers, basiclogic circuits, and measurements of electrical quantities.A two-week PLC module was developed and implemented in the Introduction to Projects andTools
