Education, 2020 Online Professional Development for Embedding Industry Credentials in Engineering CurriculaIntroduction As the number of industry credentials embedded in engineering curricula increase, facultymust obtain these credentials to facilitate integration of the affiliated learning objectives inexisting coursework. While short-term, intensive professional development workshops have beenused as “bootcamps” to quickly teach faculty the body of knowledge associated with thecredential, these training sessions require time and often travel expenses. Additionally, thefaculty must complete any necessary testing to obtain the credential in a timely manner.Professional development for these credentials and

sizes. With no sitting space, it is desirable to use portable desktop trainers which can beused in any classroom. The same issue exists with regards to the PLC course. 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
