Real Systems in the Virtual Lab
|
In engineering education, concepts taught through
lectures are often complemented by practical laboratory
experimentation. The students can observe dynamic phenomena that are
often difficult to explain by written material. In distance education
laboratory experimentation is inconvenient to integrate because the
students have to be physical present at the facilities in the distant
laboratory. Remote control of laboratory experiments is a new concept
to avoid this disadvantage. Three German universities (University of
Bochum, University of Dortmund, FernUniversität Hagen) are
currently developing a Virtual Lab as a network of remotely
accessible laboratories, in order to set up a prototype experimental
environment. The students will have access via Internet to various
experiments in control engineering, which are physically situated in
the control laboratories at these three universities. With remote
experimentation unique or expensive equipment can be shared between
different universities. Since a wider range of laboratory resources
can be made accessible, the students have the choice between more
experiments. They can use the Virtual Lab at any time and at any
place and save travel time and cost.
