The course is open only to engineeringmanagement majors and has broad objectives that touch on many aspects of the major in anintroductory fashion. It also touches several aspects of the ABET engineering criteria. Thecourse is required of first-year students in the major. In the course students work in teams toperform two engineering designs. In the first semester the design is prescriptive and is used as atool to teach and learn engineering design tools of Microsoft Excel, MathWorks MATLAB, andAutodesk Inventor, and the presentation tool Powerpoint. The students also learn basics ofteaming, the

The use of modelsas a form of experience to teach ideas, whether theoretical or design, can serve as a conceptualbridge between life situations which aids creativity, problem solving, decision making, andscientific research (11).The theory put forward by Kolb has been implemented in various ways, with varying degrees ofsuccess. Laboratory education has been found to benefit significantly from the application ofKolb’s cycle, including hands-on activities and pre- and post-lab tests to prepare and consolidatethe knowledge of the students (12).

The high demand in engineering professionals equipped with relevant and up-to-date PLCsskills, drives the engineering education to develop the alternative to the standard in-classinstruction approaches. Traditional approach of teaching PLCs assumes the training to be doneon actual equipment. Theory and exercises are integrated into a course to improve and perfectstudent skills.

expertise would enrich students’ learning andbrings them (the students) closer to the realities of the workplace. (1)Employers, by and large, are generally satisfied with the basic technical preparation of today’sgraduates, but find them largely unaware of the vital roles that engineers play in bringingproducts and services from a “concept stage” to the marketplace. An important reason for this“drawback” is that faculty members, today, often lack industrial experience and/ or any othertype of practical experience. This is particularly troubling when faculty members, straight out ofgraduate school and have absolutely no experience “under their belt,” are assigned to teachpractice-related courses. Often, teaching design-oriented and/ or field-related
