The visiting team of Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET), which evaluated our engineering technology program last semester, recommended we obtain additional equipment and training materials that support our power lab. This power lab is the facility used for ET 386 (Strength of Materials), ET 460 (Programmable Logic Controllers), ET 461 (Instrumentation and Controls), ET 464 (Industrial Electricity), ET 480E (Senior Project), and other graduate or undergraduate problem courses. 160 students enroll in these courses annually. The equipment listed in this proposal will partially satisfy the ABET recommendation. The number of students taking electricity and electronics courses increased dramatically in the past years. This semester, the students to equipment ratios in the power lab are 14.5 students per electric machine training stations and 3.5 students per programmable logic controller trainer. Our desired ratios are 3 students per electric machine training station and 1 student per PLC trainer. Although it may not cover all items needed, the proposed equipment will greatly improve the situations in the power lab.
