problem and solve the needs of our diverse studentpopulation, the NIU Department of Technology has developed a new laboratory based PLCcourse. This course, while teaching the basics of PLC ladder logic and programming, alsoprovides valuable hands on experience in the integration of a PLC with sensors, motion control,vision systems, and robotics. The laboratory experience also includes the development of humaninterface to the PLC in typical automation applications, both with hand held devices andMicrosoft visual basic tools. The students are also involved in a two-week lab based project thatrequires advanced PLC functions. The current PLC experience was implemented during thespring 2002 semester, the summer 2002 semester and is on its third phase

values for analysis offers a balanced approach that produces predictable values butmaintains a level of interaction between the student and the “experiment”. Three experimentsusing computer-generated data are described, and sample results are presented. The softwareused is Microsoft Excel (with procedures written in Visual Basic for Applications). Thisapproach has been effective in a junior-level measurements laboratory for mechanicalengineering students, and can also be adapted for distance learning applications.I. IntroductionOne of the purposes of laboratory courses is to teach students how to properly analyze dataobtained from engineering experiments. Important concepts include the normal, or Gaussianprobability distribution, confidence

These so-called nanoVNAs(Figure 1) are readily available via online shopping sites for less that $100 US and offerreasonable performance in a small form factor [1]. Some nanoVNA kits even include a modestset of standards (open, short, matched termination, line) for calibration.
