: Configuration 1 interface5. ConclusionsThis paper presents two remote laboratory experimental systems designed and developedusing the described strategy. One is a sensor actuator system the user can manipulate toperform certain laboratory experiments. The system also complements teaching Pythonprogramming for a Raspberry Pi over the web. Students can write their programs and uploadthem on the remote experimental system. The sensors and actuators are an array of lightemitting diodes, a temperature sensor, a liquid crystal display, a servo motor, and anultrasonic sensor. A suitable GUI was also developed so remote users can manipulate thecontrolled entities with little difficulty. The second experiment is a coupled tank system forperforming process

During the first two years, which are common to all three disciplines,all students study together, in an effort to both teach and show students the integration ofengineering concepts desired by industry and recognized by many as ideal. In addition to takingtraditional engineering courses, students (in both first and second year, and again in the fourthyear capstone design course) work in multi-disciplinary teams on major design projects thatintegrate technical knowledge and metaskills.

The gap between education/ training and demand has become a major focus throughout the metrology community.
