| Popis: | In the twenty-first century, continuing education in engineering is a must, not only in teaching engineers what engineering is, but also how to understand and integrate knowledge and technology into the real world. Recently, there is more significant need to continue education and acquire essential competencies to adapt to the ever-changing world. This paper describes a PLC training course which employs an experimental kit that allows engineers to understand difficult concepts and equations, and how to apply these to real life situations. In addition, this article presents an assignment on how to overcome obstacles. This resulted in an experimental kit and using technology for learning activities, being added to the training course. The article also presents the results of participants' cognitive knowledge and performance on course objectives as a result of the models developed for use in the classroom. Participants had positive attitudes regarding their satisfaction towards the training course. Overall, significant improvements in learning outcomes, due to the addition of a training course using an experimental kit and technology for learning activities, were clearly observed. |
