However, ladder-logic, while providing a rich visual interface to an unexperienced programmer leavesa lot to be desired when it comes to more advanced programming applications. For this reason, the system wasdeveloped as a hybrid system, with an embedded controller handling the processing of the gage data and a PLCcontrolling the industrial automation. The idea is to allow ladder logic programmers to have an easy jump into C++programming.The educational purposes of this tool are not for classroom-style education but instead a very hands-on real worldapplication example.

One important way to prepare students to be engineers is with real world engineeringproblems. This is vital because there is a need for students to become more interested in STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields in part because there has been aconstant amount of students finishing degrees in STEM fields in the last fifteen years but thenumber of jobs in STEM fields has grown.1 Keeping students interested in STEM throughout K-16 is

Most of their actions are rationalizedand they view this time in their development as means to gain real world experience.The second phase, advanced beginner, is closely related to novice. It typically occurs during the2nd to 3rd years. In this phase verbal, episodic, and case knowledge are added to the knowledgegained during the novice stage.3 As a result, the use of reflection is important: teachers in thisphase frequently reflect on their experiences and how those experiences contribute to theirknowledge; based on these reflections, they then begin to make alterations to their teachingpractices.

Session 1170 Teaching: NCTM math embraces the longstanding doctrine of progressive education. Student- initiated learning is favored over teacher-led instruction. Students spend a lot of time playing math games in small groups. The process of problem-solving is valued over right answers because right answers don't have an objective existence; they are "constructed" by learners. But what happened to reformers' insistence on real-world math? From engineers to airline pilots, people use mathematics to model the world in which they actually work, not to construct their own, more accommodating versions of reality. State and district policies that have followed the NCTM standards tend to present reform as religion. And

mediated by a “more knowledgeable other”61. The focus inthis case is less on direct instruction and more on facilitation. The third implication is theimportance of scaffolding, which comes from the Vygotsky’s theory known as the Zone ofProximal Development, which is “the distance between the actual development level asdetermined by independent problem solving and the level of potential development as determinedthrough problem solving with a more knowledgeable other”60, 61. The final implication is thatlearning activities are grounded in authentic, real-world contexts. Thus, these labs will bedesigned to provide students with the opportunity to work collaboratively on real-world cases,with the instructor serving as a facilitator who is scaffolding
