Students that graduate from these programs are able to move into systemdesign and planning roles. Students that learn to design and implement PLC-based systems areeasily employed in some of the highest-paying jobs.PLC courses normally include laboratory and/or project components. Students learn to usehardware and software from a particular vendor. While PLC vendors often offer generousdiscounts for education, the cost to outfit a laboratory is still very high. And, licensing limitationsoften prevent students from installing software on their own computers.The OpenPLC open source PLC software

material consists of a wide array of content ranging from e-books and lecture videos tofully immersive virtual environments of laboratories and workshops [5-11].In preparing students for their future career, virtual reality experiences and hands-on training is animportant part of their education. VR research projects and laboratories are excellent teaching aidsfor providing students with opportunities to implement the theory they learn in class. Educatingthe younger generations about sustainable and clean energy sources is vital to living in a clean andbright environment in the future [12-14]. Design tasks were performed by teams of students in theengineering and engineering technology programs after completing the same prerequisites. Eachteam was
industrial standard for CNC verification, and used to checkcorrectness of programs before they are executed in the laboratory. It is reported that programmingfor the labs requiring verification is both manually written and posted from a CAM application.Georgeou et al. [4] make a case for the role that a CNC machining class can play in improving amechanical engineering technologists design for manufacturability knowledge. They describe acurriculum where majors take a basic manufacturing processes class followed by a more advancedclass where they learn the basics of CNC programming. Additional more advanced CNC electivesare also available to take. They describe a laboratory, the Haas Technical Center which has severalHaas mills and lathes that are

identify relevant standards (i.e., technical documents thatprovide best practices and establish uniform procedures across different organizations) andappropriately use these standards to guide their work. The use of standards is so central toengineering that the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), whichaccredits colleges and universities that offer engineering degrees, requires that an accreditedprogram “incorporates appropriate engineering standards and multiple constraints” into acapstone design experience [1]. Standards are valued in industry, as well. A survey of managersin technical sectors showed that the managers viewed standards as essential to daily operations,regardless of their company’s specific sector [2

Integratingsustainability and automation within the Industry 4.0 framework presents a compelling directivefor curriculum enhancement in engineering technology programs. The adaptation of ENGT 4210to “Industrial Automation Systems” by one of the coauthors of this work, Manimaran et al. [13]provides a template for embedding these concepts into educational syllabi. The course has beenrecalibrated to meet the evolving landscape of the industrial sector by integrating contemporaryresources such as a new textbook and simulation software, exemplified by
betweentraditional analytic/numeric engineering education and computer science/AI development thatcan provide skills to effectively enact and manage the full data science cycle.Specifically in Indiana, findings from the 2019 Indiana Manufacturing Survey [3] concluded thatthere is a serious shortage of skilled and unskilled laborers, with the expectation that the numberof skilled jobs will increase; this skills gap impedes manufacturing growth. Furthermore,manufacturers, especially middle-size companies, have limited options for supporting their ownworkforce development and expect public secondary schools to help address this shortage [3].To take steps toward preparing engineering graduates to effectively work with data, starting fromdata collection through
