CoursesAbstractRobotic motion control methods and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are critical inengineering automation and process control applications. In most manufacturing and automationprocesses, robots are used for moving parts and are controlled by industrial PLCs. Properintegration of external I/O devices, sensors and actuating motors with PLC input and outputcards is very important to run the process smoothly without any faults and/or safety concerns.Most traditional electrical and computer engineering (ECE) programs offer high level of motiontheory and controls but little hands-on exposure to PLCs which are the main industrialcontrollers. This paper provides a framework for a hands-on project to integrate PLCs in robotarm motion control

It also presents measures to evaluate both successes and failures of this approach. Theprojected longevity of the approach, tackling various projects, is integrated into the study.

Student teams assembled and tested the operation of each kit. Teams discussed possibleapplication of these circuits. Based on the measurements taken during the first four weeks of thismodule, a design project is assigned.

Design of modern day products involves the knowledgeof different engineering disciplines, as well as an ability to communicate and work well in multi-disciplinary teams. Because engineers are traditionally trained in fields such as eitherMechanical or Electrical engineering, many of today’s engineering graduates are not wellprepared to function competently in environments that require them to work on products whereelectrical and mechanical knowledge areas are intertwined.An ongoing NSF-funded project addresses these competency gaps through the development oftwo courses incorporating team-oriented and project-based activities, as a follow-up to previousefforts centered
