A remote laboratory called VLAB15 involving an oscilloscopewas set up at The National University of Singapore in 1999. Later, a Web-based experiment16 forcontrolling a coupled tank apparatus was developed. In the Process Control and AutomationLaboratory17 at Case Western Reserve University, a process rig was made accessible over theInternet, where the user can submit parameters using a Web browser from a remote client to aLaboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW) Web server, which isconnected to the process rig via a PLC control module.

Simple Laboratory Exercise Introducing PhotovoltaicsAbstractA simple laboratory exercise teaches students important behavior of four different photovoltaictechnologies and inspires debate on pertinent issues for designing solar panel arrays. Studentsperform experiments on monocrystalline, polycrystalline, thin film flexible, and folding flexiblephotovoltaic panels. They find practical influence of azimuth on performance, identifying asubstantial tolerance in angle from normal. They use their laboratory skills and managementinstruction to gain quick but remarkably valid estimates of solar panel performance: relativeenergy efficiency and relative cost of each of the four technologies. Assessed results showedimproved performance on exam questions

This experiment is toverify the relationship between the bending-moment, and stress-strain distributions along thelength of a cantilever beam. The objective of this experiment is to teach all undergraduateengineering

The advantage ofimplementing this method are that it allows the student to use their creativity to come up witha solution of their own, rather than having the instructor give them a predetermined sequenceon how to solve certain

in various dimensions, includingdistance lecture delivery or remote instrumentation to teach laboratory-based courses 1-3.Over the past several years a vast number of systems have been developed to provide remoteaccess to laboratory instruments in order for students to conduct online experiments. In fact,today, almost every major instrument has the remote access feature. Web-based experimentsallow students to interact with real testing equipment without the need to purchase redundantinstruments or dedicate large lab spaces. Another major advantage of online experiments is that,as many researchers have pointed out, it allows students to complete hands-on activities on theirown time, resulting in higher level of involvement and overall

It is intended for use with introductory courses in electronics and iscompatible with both standard laboratory equipment and with “lab-in-a-box” apparatus like theNational Instruments myDAQ. It is hoped that this device will prove itself useful to a wideaudience and be beneficial to students’ understanding of basic electronic device characteristics.References[1] M. Shwehdi, C.

Project TUNA II –Bode Analyzer and Teaching ToolAbstractStudents measuring the frequency response of a linear circuit (e.g., an active filter) by manualmethods find the task mind-numbing and repetitive, and the purpose was frequently lost in theminutiae of data-taking. Project TUNA (Texas Universal Network Analyzer), a Bode analyzerfor low to moderate frequencies, was conceived as an answer to this problem. The prototype ofProject TUNA was developed as a project in Electronics II (EENG 4409) in 1999, andpermanent copies were constructed in 2000. Project TUNA has been integrated into theelectronics curriculum of UT-Tyler since that time. It is used as both a laboratory instrument andas a teaching tool, particularly to illustrate the principles of

experience, the course uses a hybrid approach of teaching andevaluation. The lecture portion of the course is evaluated based on homework assignments andmidterm examinations, and the hands-on laboratory portion of learning is evaluated based on finaldesign project. The uniqueness of this course, when compared with other mechatronics courses,is the industry-oriented pedagogical approach for technology students, which combines theextensive hands-on activities and student-centered pedagogy. Students are motivated withreal-world industrial applications to actively participate in the course both during the laboratoryand lecture sessions. The second feature of the course is that it uses only basic electrical circuitsas a pre-requisite, opening up
