aninstructional module for 9th-12th grade students in a science or engineering class. The moduleconsists of a lecture with hands on activities to help students understand Boolean Logic. It willintroduce the PLC and Ladder logic programming.Learning Objectives: After this lesson the student should be able to (a) describe what aProgrammable Logic Controller is (b) understand basic AOI Boolean Logic (c) be able to write asimple Ladder Logic program.Administer: Pre-Test (Appendix A)Concepts for Teachers:The first PLC was introduced in the late 1960s. The first commercial and successfulProgrammable Logic Controller was built by Modicon Corp. as a replacer part for GeneralMotors. Originally, it was a machine with thousands of parts, but in the late ‘70’s with

The learning environment of the AFL is essentially studentshelping students, supervised by a staff member for safety. It utilizes an approach that is similar tothe Vygotsky’s zone of proximal development model (Vygotsky, 1962), where students areallowed to work with equipment to the point where they are uncomfortable/unfamiliar and needhelp. This means that a beginner who has never set foot inside a manufacturing lab is as welcomeas an expert who can operate equipment with minimal assistance, and each student

Depending on thenature of the selected projects, they may be teamed with computer engineering students. Theprinciples of the design and project planning and control processes are taught by the projectscoordinator faculty through the entire life of the projects. Each project advisor faculty advisesone or two teams on designing and prototyping their project(s). Manufacturing students mostlyare assigned to select topics in
