AB  -        Engineering Laboratory Enhancement through Cloud ComputingLaboratories are important to engineering and technology curricula. Through systematicallydesigned experiments, students can gain hands-on experience, enhance classroom learning, andcultivate career interests. However, traditional laboratory conduction is often restricted byvarious cost, time, and spatial reasons. Thus, how to effectively extend laboratories viacyberspace and maximize limited resources utilization has caused many researchers’ attention.In recent years, Cloud Computing technology has developed drastically, which provided an idealsolution for virtual and remote laboratory implementation. This paper presents a project currentlyconducted at the University of ABC. Using Virtual Computing Lab (VCL), a cloud computingapplication developed by North Carolina State University and IBM, the investigators made aseries of LabVIEW based engineering laboratories online. These laboratory setups greatly reducethe cost of experimental facilities, improve the lab schedule function, increase the accessibility ofequipment and courseware, and support teachers’ instructional needs. At the same time, theoriginal nature and underlying contents of the laboratories are stilled retained.This paper presents the current progress and implementation strategies of the project. A summaryof the courses impacted and a phased implementation plan are also discussed.
