Design activity engagement frames thesocial context of our investigation [4] and describes the complex cognitive [7], [15], [16] andsocial processes [2], [17] involved in the design process within a capstone course. Theseprocesses are a result from the structure of capstone courses, within which students engage incomplex open-ended projects and collaborate with student peers as well as professionalengineers sponsors. We further study student’s motivation to engage in design behaviors asrelated to their identity construction [8]–[10]. Finally, we connect students’ understanding ofdesign activity engagement to literature in situated cognition [12

Although a formal assessment of the approach's effectiveness is yet to be conducted,anecdotal evidence suggests positive outcomes. Overall, this paper demonstrates the value ofusing free software and low-cost hardware in teaching PLC concepts, paving the way for moreaccessible and cost-effective education in this crucial area of engineering.IntroductionIndustrial control systems are heavily reliant on Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs).

Two of the professors are using a lecture and lab based instructional model, wherestudents attend two, 75-minute lectures each week and learn about computational concepts usingMATLAB. Students then practice these concepts during one 75-minute lab section each weekrun by a teaching assistant (TA), and they also complete weekly homework assignments usingMATLAB.

There has been a cleartransition in the engineering curricula from the traditional approach to the alternative paradigm.The former viewed design as a byproduct of engineering education that cannot occur without thesolid formation of engineering sciences1, whereas the latter argues that analytical knowledge isnot adequate for tackling real-life engineering problems, and that design can be viewed as ameans of learning engineering not a result of it.
