systems play an integral role in large-scale processes for interfacing with transducers and machinery for real time control and dataacquisition. The increasing demand to integrate SCADA systems with remote networks andInternet of Things (IoT) technologies has raised concerns for information security specialists.These systems are thought to have notable security vulnerabilities and may be subject to anincreasing number of cyber threats. In this paper/project, several students from Sam Houston StateUniversity design and deploy a SCADA laboratory to better understand these systems and theinherent security threats that go with them. The details including system infrastructure, challengesfaced during the establishment of the laboratory, student and

Problem-based learning has been defined asminds-on, hands-on, focused, experiential learning. (Wilkerson & Gijselaers, 1996). Aproblem-based curriculum is significantly different from the traditional disciplinecentered curriculum. (Woods, 1994). Instructors are considered to serve as problemsolving colleagues assigned with the responsibility of promoting interest and enthusiasmfor learning (Narayanan, 2005 & 2006).

a few steps ofprogramming. For example, a Proportional Integral and Derivative (PID) controller can bedesigned, tuned and demonstrated to students in a few steps. This tool can be used to modelan electromechanical device such a servomotor system that consists of a servomotor, a servodrive, an encoder, a gearbox, and a load. The virtual model setup in turn would carry the wholeconcept through graphical demonstrations including timing. Furthermore, this software toolcan communicate with simple real world hardware such as a switch and a light bulb to a verycomplicated hardware like a hydrocarbon based fuel reformer.

A differential amplifier may not be suitable in these cases; the ground-potential difference may exceed the common-mode voltage range of the amplifier, ormay be sufficiently large to damage or destroy the amplifier [6]. Isolation amplifiers areappropriate in such instances. There are multiple approaches to making an isolationamplifier (e.g., transformer coupling, capacitive coupling, or optical coupling).

The campus machine shop is very wellequipped and staffed and was available to help fabricate custom parts. 3-D printing of parts wasalso an option for the teams to use. An instrumentation amplifier circuit board kit was availablefor the students to integrate into their design. The project provided a very good means ofunifying many aspects of the course. The fabrication experience gained through this project isalso a valuable component of the mechanical engineering curriculum.
