On the Integration of Remote Experimentation into Undergraduate Laboratories-Technical Implementation
Esche, Sven K.
International Journal of Instructional Media, v33 n1 p43 Win 2006
This article presents how Stevens Institute of Technology (SIT) has adopted an Internet-based approach to implement its undergraduate student laboratories. The approach allowed student interaction with the experimental devices from remote locations at any time. Furthermore, it enabled instructors to include demonstrations of sophisticated laboratory experiments into their lectures, and it also forms the basis for integrating experimentation into distance learning offerings. Based on the overall success of the pilot implementation at SIT, the development of additional remotely accessible experimental setups for other dynamical systems in electrical, civil and chemical engineering is presently underway, and the propagation of the remote experiments to other educational laboratories at SIT is in planning. (Contains 4 figures.)
