Students from both disciplines would benefit fromusing the most current PLC technology and would have the opportunity to interface the PLC’swith a new and much expanded set of digital and analog devices that are used in industry. Inaddition, the new equipment will allow us to develop industry-relevant learning materials, andprovide state-of the-art knowledge and experience to students utilizing the facility. Thisknowledge and experience will result in a well-educated graduate with practical hands-onexperience designing, configuring, and troubleshooting industrial control systems

Second, we developed a series of student-assessed case studies thatcan be integrated in all sections of the PS course for computer systems majors.
