but also to ensurethat these graduates are prepared to be leaders and innovators in emerging STEM fields. A partof this reform depends on the quality of undergraduate engineering education experience. Inaddition to providing strong analytical skills, undergraduate engineering education needs tostrengthen skills that prepare graduates to work within rapidly diversifying STEM fields. Futureinnovators need to be prepared to adapt to modern technology, collaborate with people fromoutside their discipline, and be able to apply their skills to solving new problems.

Theapproach integrates theory, hardware integration along with software development to providestudents with a comprehensive learning experience. The student feedback was very good andsuccess rate was 100%. The future work will be to offer this capstone course in coming years forgraduate students with different set of objectives that still require PLC integration skills.References[1] L. Maha.
