meet each outcome from theEOP framework. In order to meet each objective, I developed a variety of learning materials,assignments and assessments. With Bloom’s Taxonomy in mind, I developed the followingobjectives (in italics) and content for the first outcome6: 1(a) Be able to locate legitimate sources of facts and data about environmental issues. Thelearning materials for the first outcome include content about information literacy and evaluation.Information evaluation is a skill critical for engineers to develop as students when the stakes aremuch lower, as in a classroom setting. Evaluative frameworks are often helpful in providingguiding questions that will help with each state of the evaluation. RADAR (Relevance, Authority,Date

UniversityAbstractThis paper describes activities and preliminary findings from a five-year, NSF-sponsored project(Award #1565066) at Purdue University Fort Wayne to increase the number of students whocomplete engineering, engineering technology, and computer science degrees. Purdue UniversityFort Wayne is a metropolitan, non-selective, public institution with a high percentage of under-prepared, first-generation, low-income, commuter students, many of whom work. The objectivesof this project are to (a) increase graduation rates of the STEM cohorts; (b) build the foundationfor a sustainable institutional structure and support STEM scholars and other students; (c) carryout research designed to advance understanding of the factors, practices, and curricular and

2023 ASEE Illinois-Indiana Section Conference Proceedings The Development of Low-Cost Programmable Logic Controller Labs for a Control Systems Course Benjamin D. McPheron* Devin J. Goodrich Michael Q. Mullinix Anderson University Anderson University Anderson University bdmcpheron@anderson.eduAbstractMany engineering disciplines require an undergraduate course in control systems, but fewintroduce students to programmable logic controllers (PLCs), which are commonly used toimplement real-time process control in industry. Curricular exposure to PLC systems is desirablefor many internship and full-time career opportunities for students studying
