Mastery-based learning becomes much more feasible.• Students have unique numbers for their problems. Cheating is difficult. Students can be encouraged to discuss with one another the concepts required to solve the problems but cannot simply give one another the answers.• LON-CAPA gives the instructor the ability to check values of intermediate calculations required to arrive at the solutions of each student’s problems.

Courses and laboratoriescovering PLC programming and interfacing started to appear in colleges and universitiesteaching engineering technology programs in the mid 1970s. Today PLC courses and aPLC laboratory are found in almost every engineering technology curriculum. In manyinstitutions, however, the level of PLC technology taught has not progressed beyondsimple discrete control using basic ladder logic programming on a stand-alone PLC.Engineering technology laboratories must include exercises using PLC and smart devicenetworks to prepare graduates to work on the robust automation solutions adopted bymanufacturing.

Most of the department’s classrooms are multi-media classrooms, which provide computers and smart boards. The department has six computer labs which are loaded with the latest software and tools for all students to use, including the graduate students. The electronics lab, manufacturing lab, robotics and 3D printing lab, and construction lab are widely used for graduate course content delivery and research activities. These labs are equipped with the latest equipment and tools to prepare students with relevant technical skills. Graduate students are also introduced to a number of

It quickly became apparent that the TI-83series of graphing calculators, coupled with a handheld data acquisition unit by Vernier, wouldbe quite suitable.The graphing capability of the calculator provided the ability to monitor the dynamics of thesystem in real-time. A major advantage was the fact many students already owned a TIcalculator. Also, the Vernier data logger, designed specifically for use in schools, was quiteinexpensive. This means a contractor, a consulting engineer, or even the building owner couldeasily purchase the unit since payback would be rapid.
