Automation and control represents a rapidly growing discipline and one that will continue to grow, given present-day increases in population and advancements in the automation and control areas. Automation has become an integral part of the industrial process control to achieve quality production by saving time, cost, and labor. Since programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are highly configurable and reliable, they have been widely used in various industries such as automotive, pulp and paper, material handling, food processing, and manufacturing. PLC is also the heart of automation and industrial process control. More emphasis will be placed on PLC programming using ladder diagrams and industrial automation by enhancing the current automation and control course and associated laboratory. The primary objective of this paper is to enable Electronic Engineering Technology major students to use PLC technology on a limited scale in the laboratory;but be prepared to use the same knowledge on a larger scale in industry. The phenomenal growth in automation and control technology has put new demands on the job duties of engineers and technologists. The author will present evidence that Automation and Control and Robotics will continue to dominate the manufacturing industry throughout the twenty first century. Industries are increasingly seeking graduates with appropriate background and training in this technology. This paper describes an enhancement of automation and control course in the form of lecture and laboratory studies. To ensure the proper delivery of the course with hands-on laboratory, the authors have already acquired a grant of $83,852.00 from Louisiana Board of Regents to purchase PLC laboratory equipment. Working on equipment in a laboratory setting is an indispensable component of any applied engineering technology curriculum. The authors will present the students' learning outcomes of the implementation of this enhanced course and laboratory. Such studies pr

This project describes the efforts towards developing an interdisciplinary laboratory to reinforce hands-on experience of engineering students. The laboratory is based on the Allen-Bradley's® (AB) SLC-500 family;combining them with resources that are typically found at an Electronic Engineering (EE) laboratory. Such devices are used on programmed practical assignments and applied for teaching Instrumentation Engineering concepts. The project is implemented on a junior Bachelors course for Biomedical and Electronic Engineering students, having a good acceptance level.
