These are currently introduced in the industry to replace thetraditional 4-20 mA point-to-point connections. It is important to integrate fieldbus networkstopic in technology courses to align the curriculum with the current industrial practices. Thispaper, therefore, presents how the fieldbus networks topic is integrated into ECT 441Instrumentation and ECT 453 Digital Computer for Process Control courses in the Electronicsand Computer

The goal of the course development was therefore move awayfrom the notion of generic laboratories supporting challenging lecture content, and instead useflexible and more generic lecture content to support very challenging labs.After construction of the robot, eight graduate-level laboratory activities were developed thatparallel various stages of the robot construction process. The labs in total occupiedapproximately 32 one-hour lecture periods, and each lab was designed to be completed in eithertwo or four class periods depending on the complexity of the task. Each lab period began with
