attractingpotential new professionals to the field. The user-friendliness and appeal of the WaterMobilesystem make it a pathway to guide more individuals into the water treatment industry. Additionally,in light of the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic to regular laboratory courses [5], wehave also introduced virtual simulation laboratories [6] and Raspberry Pi technology, allowingstudents to remotely participate in practical operations and experiments without the need to bephysically present on-site. This provides valuable hands-on experience to students without theconstraints of limited laboratory equipment, thus promoting and enhancing the accessibility ofwater treatment education.Project Approach and System DesingWaterMobile is an innovative
