IntroductionProgrammable Logic Controllers (PLC’s) are specialized microcomputers specifically designed forautomated discrete control of industrial processes. Any engineering student interested in industrialautomation would benefit from a strong grounding in this technology. At Montana StateUniversity, the Industrial and Management Engineering program offers PLC programming as partof the first course in computer integrated manufacturing. This paper describes the results of aclassroom research project conducted to test the efficacy of an alternative approach to solving PLCprogramming problems.PLC’s are unique from other microcomputer-based systems in that the most commonly

In some circles the terms evaluation and assessment are reversed, suchas used by ABET [2] (The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology).The traditional evaluation or assessment process of faculty performance as been essentially asubjective process. This process involves peers (other faculty), administrators (department chair,dean), and in many cases students.The authors propose the use of their Capability Index (CI), a measure of a student’s performanceas demonstrated by the relationship between the grade they achieve in a course and theircumulative GPA at the same time (Grade in Course/Cumulative GPA) and

Analog designfollows a process for which transistor sizing is necessary to achieve performance goals that aredefined by a series of simulation tests.

training is often anobstacle for makerspaces as most need to create “workshops, online tutorials, handouts, andoverall information” to account for the common “user inexperience” on such technologies(Moorefield-Lang, 2014). Training often takes time, planning, resources, dedication, andconsistency to ensure that it successfully educates students to safely use the equipment. In astudy looking at similar challenges present in K-12 and college engineering classrooms, it wasfound that teacher preparation, technology and resource management, and diversity are commonconcerns to be aware of in the future (Hira et al., 2014). Preparation can include making sure theinstructors who are teaching such hands-on curriculum and workshops are knowledgeable on
