Session 1566 Teaching Controls With PLCs by Hugh Jack Padnos School of Engineering Grand Valley State UniversityAbstract:In industrial practice it is much more common to control a process using logical control for dis-crete on/off states. As a result most industrial equipment designs use Programmable Logic Con-trollers (PLCs). These controllers support multiple control schemes such as Boolean logicalcontrol, sequential logic control, structured programming, linear controls, graphical interfaces,fuzzy logic, etc.A majority of

Inorder for students to reach a minimum level of competence, they must master the basics oftechniques such as present worth, equivalency, and rate of return on an after-tax basis.

The goal of the study was to find which scores (high school grade pointaverage, composite ACT and math ACT) best predicted if a student would be retained inengineering one year after starting the program. The value of such a study is that engineeringretention could possibly be increased if we selected a better group of students for admission andscholarships.

the use of rapid sand -carbon filter in the reduction of organic materials and salt inthe wastewater from a fermentation process. The filtration rate, conductivity and absorbancewere monitored as wastewater was run through the system. The rate of filtration dropped as morewastewater was filtered. This suggests that clogging was taking place in the system as morewastewater was filtered. The absorbance at 570nm and 280nm of the filtrate decreased whichsuggests that the system was able to filter the wastewater and achieve a significant treatmentlevel. Different filter setups and filter media will be studied in order to improve the filtrationefficiency and filtrate quality.IntroductionWith oil and gas prices fluctuating, there is a need to reduce
