About
Dr. Aliza Williams is a pioneering researcher in engineering education and industrial automation, with a focus on remote-access laboratory systems. Her most-cited work, "A Remote Access Robotics And PLC Laboratory For Distance Learning Program" (2020), has garnered 8 citations and addresses a critical gap in hands-on technical training for distance learners. At Elizabeth City State University, she developed an internet-based automation laboratory integrating robotics and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), enabling students to operate real industrial equipment remotely. This innovation directly responds to the growing demand for internet-based technologies in both industry and academia, democratizing access to costly laboratory resources. Dr. Williams’ contributions are particularly significant for historically underrepresented students in STEM, as her work expands practical learning opportunities beyond traditional campus settings. By bridging the gap between theoretical instruction and applied automation skills, she has laid foundational groundwork for scalable, cost-effective remote engineering labs—a model increasingly vital in post-pandemic education. Her research continues to influence curriculum design for distance learning programs nationwide.
