In the online lab, students from two different engineering programs (mechatronics engineering and industrial engineering) were paired together using Zoom’s breakout rooms thus engaging in PL. Also, each student was issued a kit of parts necessary for the physical implementation of the lab designs off campus. Student pairs that finished their labs early were required to help other pairs.

In most schools the topic of Programmable LogicControllers (PLCs) is taught in two-quarter or two-semester classes. Typically, a semester issixteen weeks long, while a quarter session is only eleven weeks long.

In selecting theconcepts, we drew upon the Dictionary of Cultural Literacy to validate that the majority of theconcepts are truly essential to a broad grasp of popular science and technology. Our practice hasbeen to administer the inventory at the beginning and end of the semester to cadres of studentsthat enrolled in an analog electronics course. We will present data collected over the last twosemesters to illustrate major misconceptions and significant gains obtained through the course.1. IntroductionABET 2000 student outcome criteria

Worldeducation rankings show the US lagging behind other nations in developing STEM skills [1]. Inorder to help overcome this widening gap, the US began a push for STEM opportunities for K-12students outside of schools, especially for reach underrepresented minority (URM) students whomay not have equal access to STEM opportunities. In 2007, the University of Arkansas Collegeof Engineering (UACOE) began offering summer programs to increase STEM exposure. In thesecamps, students are free to develop
