ABSTRACT

Programmable logic controllers play an increasingly important role as a key component of intelligent manufacturing. The reform of corresponding courses has also become an important topic in university education. Based on a literature review and in conjunction with engineering education accreditation standards, this paper explores the teaching reform of the course "Programmable Industrial Control Systems". It addresses aspects such as course objectives, problems to be solved, course content, teaching implementation, and assessment, with the authors' teaching experience, and the suggestion may provide certain reference points for deeper reforms in subsequent courses.
