On 19th October 2015, AIUB Community of Engineering Students (ACES) organized a workshop titled “PLC & Automation” being presented by Integrated Engineering & Compliance Solution (IECS) Bangladesh at Room No.266, Building-2, American International University-Bangladesh (AIUB). IECS BD is an entrepreneur institution that has been developed for hand-on training on demo unit to provide an extensive understanding on industrial measurement and control system for engineers and technicians. In recent years, most of the industrial machines are automated and controlled by Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The purpose of the workshop was to show the students how PLC works and how it can be used in industry applications. Mr. Md. Shoaib Sani (Automation Engineer, Application and Hardware Specialist, IECS BD), Mr. Md. Hafizur Rahman (Automation Engineer, Application & software specialists, IECS BD) and Mr. Md. Zahedul Talukdar (Assistant Engineer, Instrumentation & Electrical Specialist, IECS BD) were the guest instructors who conducted the workshop.
Dr. Md.
