Teachers, especiallywith limited experience can be reluctant to introduce programming without proper training andthey would require support from the school and technical support that often don’t have due to thelimited resource [9].The use of Arduino and 3D printing has been proven effective in young students (K-12) it isuseful to develop the skills needed to function well in a technology society and into differentSTEM fields [10-13].In this paper, we introduced to STEM educators programming using Arduino UNO, Sensor Kitboard, and developed an application for a nuclear power plan automated system.

Mechanical engineering students will take acircuits/electronics class, automatic feedback controls, and instrumentation and measurementsystems.To teach and assess the understanding of automatic control systems, a PLC lab was developed(Fig. 1) that requires students to program a PLC for various control requirements such as on/offcontrol, proportional control, and proportional plus integral control. This lab is based off anIDEC PLC that was chosen due to the ease of programming. Ease of use was a major concern;while this training occurs the students do not

platforms utilized in robotics and automation education:robotics systems for educational purposes either tended to lean towards toy-style platforms (e.g.,LEGO [2]), or industrial robotics (e.g., Mitsubishi, Fanuc). A “middle-ground” system wasneeded; one that could be used in labs to show the inner workings of software and hardware.Fortunately, several discontinued robots were found within the university with these features,named ATLAS designed by L.J Electronics; however, they were woefully outdated. After a longprocess of reverse engineering and retrofitting these robots, that were originally slated fordisposal, they are now fully functional and can be integrated into the robotics and automationcurriculum as RARs.

Again,this gives rise to control systems that heretofore were not possible but now can be used toimprove the operation of industrial processes and complex systems from just about any field orsector of the economy.So, let’s formulate the problem facing higher education and in particular two-year collegeengineering technology programs. First, let’s restate that most believe that the rate oftechnological change has become exponential. This basic fact makes it all that more imperativethat we act on educational changes that better prepare our students for the future.

At the technology education level, establishing a partnership andcollaboration with industry can help to address some of these challenges. The advantages ofuniversity-industry partnerships (UIP) are both incredible and numerous. The strength of anyuniversity's program depends on staying relevant to innovative technologies used and currentmarket trends, not only regionally but globally as well.
