., 2004). This approach aligns with the hands-on nature of engineeringeducation, particularly in laboratories and project-based courses. Constructivism promotesstudent-centered learning environments where learners connect new ideas to existing knowledge(Kant et al., 2011). In engineering education, this theory has been applied through problem-basedlearning, projects, and group discussions (Erawati & Adnyana, 2024). Experiential learningopportunities have been successfully implemented in various engineering programs, enhancingstudents' practical skills and understanding (Ghrayeb & Vohra, 2011).

On the advice of theelectrical ET faculty in the department, the currently required DC and AC circuits courses do notreach the systems level of complexity. Therefore, it was proposed to move an elective coursewith electrical systems content - ENGT 4150 Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) - to therequired category. This will provide the graduates from the program with more electrical content,at the systems level that is highly sought out in today’s heavily automated manufacturingindustry. This will also upgrade the curriculum to require a course covering PLC, which is ofhigh interest to regional industrial employers. This requirement will better prepare students foremployment and
