Consequently, it is important for mechanicalengineering students to conduct physical experiments so that they have hands-on experience withthe types of tools used in instrumentation and measurement. By doing these activities, students cangain knowledge about issues such as what measurements to use, how to develop a feasibility studyprogram, how to conduct computer-based data acquisition and analysis processes, how to validateexperimental data for both deterministic and random processes, how to design experiments, how toapply both statistical and deterministic tools for data analysis, and how to disseminate

common use in the development of the real-time remotelaboratory. The Web application layer processes the requests from the GUI and posts back theresults for these requests. Among several dynamic Web content technologies for server sideapplications such as Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP), Java Script Pages (JSP), Active Server Pages(ASP), ASP.NET is most commonly adopted because it simplifies the developer’s transitionfrom Windows application development to Web development by offering the ability to buildwebpages containing controls similar to those of a Windows user interface. The lab agent, whichis in the third layer, locates the experiment, routes the user request, returns the experimentalresults and stores them. Web applications and lab agents

The demand for robots with artificialintelligence is also increasing among many others [5]. In order for Purdue University Northweststudents to stay on track with industrial demands, it is crucial to offer them a robotics concentrationprogram. Since the uses for robots are constantly expanding and evolving into virtually every field,it is beneficial for engineering technology students to be prepared for the future.

Thus, teaching robotics can contribute to developing andimproving the students’ skills in problem solving, logic and scientific inquiry as well as to teachingthe related basic knowledge.2. Background2.1. Traditional Implementation of Educational RoboticThere is an extensive list of educational initiatives that use robotic technologies as pedagogicaltools. However, the way robotics is currently introduced in educational applications isunnecessarily narrow. Most of these initiatives are oriented toward teaching subjects directlyrelated to the robotics field. Furthermore, it is difficult to keep the complexity and cost of roboticdevices to a manageable level for a regular size class.There are many challenges that need to be tackled to
