These systems often provide very clean interfaceswith an array of capabilities, prepared curriculum, and specialized options. This paper describesnon-commercial PLC trainer units that provide a framework that allows students to do basicwiring and modify the electrical design on a weekly basis. The instructor is then free to addcomponents as needed. In situations that are budget constrained, as is ours, more expensivecomponents may be purchased as funds become available.ET 472 – Integrated

Similarly, most engineersspend much of their time involved in projects, but few have been trained in project planning andmanagement by actually doing projects. Structured problem solving and project management areboth skills that are learned more by actual practice than by textbook study. So it is necessary toincorporate significant project practice using both skills into curriculum as a part of normalcourse work.
