Previously, theauthors had proposed two separate portable desktop units for these lab activities with theircorresponding lab activities and they also mentioned their plan to incorporate instrumentation inthese lab activities ([1, 2, 3]). Currently, there are 21 PLC trainers and a prototype is alreadybeing built for the fluid power lab. Further discussion and consideration resulted in identifyingsome lab activities that can be shared if there were one set of trainers that cater to the need ofboth courses.This paper discusses the design and development of an integrated trainer

This paper focuses only on thedesign and implementation of the experiential learning modules for structural analysis. Theexperiential learning modules discussed herein use fiberglass reinforced polymer (FRP)structural shapes produced by the Strongwell Corporation. Strongwell produces over 100structural shapes from an FRP material called EXTREN® that is both lightweight and highstrength. EXTREN® is an anisotropic material with directional dependent properties, but themodulus of elasticity for flexural members is determined directly from simple beam bendingtests on full sections.

The traditional mode of education presupposes the instructor as an authority“depositing” knowledge into the “clean-slates” (students’ minds), who in turn regurgitate thatdeposited (memorized) knowledge in assessments. This is described as the banking concept ofeducation by Freire [1].
