The purpose of this research is to introduce a case study on application of practical engineering. Topic of the study is a medicine vending machine which consists of PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), DC motor, switch, photo sensor and so on. In order to design and manufacture of the device, a lot of subjects which have learned during school year are reviewed and practiced. Espe-cially, not only internal process but mechanical mechanism can be understood by organizing hardware and software of all parts. Also, several ideas like user made supply or exact counting are suggested for high performance. From this case study, students can increase their originality and adaptability for related industry. Also, the technique can be initiated industry if needed.
