However, factors such aslimited lab time, expensive equipment and high student-to-equipment ratios often hinderstudents’ learning. Simulation tools can be used to help prepare students to take full advantageof limited lab resources. This paper describes a web-based Ladder Logic Toolkit that providesphysical and procedural simulation

, Backward design, STEM, Construction, Pedagogy.IntroductionUndergraduate courses in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) are mostly taughtusing traditional teaching methods (teacher-centered). Despite traditional teaching methodsexcelling in tackling large bodies of content, undergraduate students graduate with a lack intechnical skills needed for professional growth and success [1]. This gap in technical skills can bereduced by altering the pedagogical approach. Active learning pedagogy has been proven toincrease student performance [2], [3], [4].Active learning refers to the employment of techniques that give the students the opportunity towork together in a small group setting using class activities that are relevant to the course

Within the College of Technology and Applied Sciences, the response is still in itsformative stage. However, several constructs have been established. The basic post-tenure-review procedural approach is to follow carefully the established ABOR policy. To express thecharacter and values of Engineering Technology Education and technology education in general,we use a hierarchy that is more pragmatic. The assessment focus is still based on the traditionalacademic triad. However, because of the nature of the mission of Engineering TechnologyEducation, our
