Today, inthe United States (US), institutions of higher education are charged with educating the scientists,engineers, and technicians that are the vanguard of the industrial sector workforce and the humanresources that make us competitive in the world economy. Typically, engineers and scientistsstudy STEM-based (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) topics at four-yearcolleges (undergraduate and post-graduate level) with the aid of higher mathematics (typically,calculus and differential equations) to gain an extensive insight to the theory of the subjectmatter being studied. The goals of this type of education are to impart skills that enable graduatesto have the ability to solve problems and to be innovative

Relative to students taught traditionally—i.e., with instructor-centered lectures,individual assignments, and competitive grading—cooperatively taught students tend toexhibit higher academic achievement, greater persistence through graduation, better high-level reasoning and critical thinking skills, deeper understanding of learned material, lowerlevels of anxiety and stress, more positive and supportive relationships with peers, morepositive attitudes toward subject areas, and higher self-esteem.On the other hand, and in a major shift influenced by pressures from industry and

The model can be replicated on other campuses.IntroductionThere seems to be a general consensus that diminishing communication skills among school-aged children and young adults is reaching crisis proportions. This concern is not limited tostudents at certain universities, or those majoring in technical fields. In “ Why Johnny Can’tWrite, Even Though He Went To Princeton,” the Chronicle of Higher Education1 highlights theproblem of students progressing through their undergraduate education without developing thewriting skills necessary to communicate effectively in their chosen fields of study. In particular,employers of recent engineering graduates have noted for years a deficiency in thecommunication skills of college graduates. This

Traditionally, control usingPLCs is not taught in a ECE undergraduate or graduate curriculum. However, an electrical and/ormechanical engineer needs these skills to work in a variety of industries. Typical ECEcurriculum includes control theory, analog and digital electronics but seldom include courses inPLCs and integrating them with different equipment. This missing link led to the development ofPLC and industrial instrumentation related courses in remote learning and technology programs[7]-[10
