Abstract

Abstract:

An exciting series of labs have been discovered that greatly enhance a course in automation controls for Engineering Technology students. The Cognex company furnishes these labs with accompanying text and lab material that introduce the student to the concepts of part inspection using simple programming techniques. They include videos as well for a very complete course in this subject.

This paper shows the steps to introducing this material and how it can be used in an advanced course for students preparing for a career in automation.
