, Engineering Technology programs at Kansas State University Salina Campus notedthat PLC-based automation had become the top-paying job opportunity for bachelor's degreegraduates in both electronic and computer engineering technology and mechanical engineeringtechnology. Students often expressed interest in courses outside their discipline that wouldaugment their robotics and automation implementation skills. Seizing the opportunity,Engineering Technology faculty developed a robotics and automation curriculum that pulledfrom existing courses from the program areas of electronics, mechanical, and computer systems.The new program's student learning outcomes were drawn from industry employers, industryassociation bodies of knowledge, ABET programmatic

The Kit allows the students to test theconcepts taught in class on real hardware immediately. It facilitates hands-on assignment wherethe students assemble modular hardware components and modify program binaries to achieve thedesired goals.

By comparing and contrastingthe curriculum of our electrical and computer engineering technology program (TAC of ABETaccredited) at Western Carolina University with that from a representative Chinese university,the following findings are presented in the paper: 1) Because of the administrative structure in China’s higher education system, the engineering curricula are centrally controlled to certain extent by China’s Ministry of Higher Education. Therefore, analysis of an engineering curriculum from one representative university can

For a control education laboratory to work effectively and efficiently it should bebased on well established systems that provide a variety of experiments that span the spectrum oftopics from classical control to optimal, digital, robust, and nonlinear
