Design of a Real-Time Remote-Access Engineering Laboratory Using Integrated Web Service and Wireless Technology for Distance Learners

Overview Web-based distance education has enabled university programmes to increase diversity within the student body by allowing non-traditional students and satellite campuses the ability to access a standard college education. However, for engineering distance education, students only have limited access to laboratory equipment to gain hands-on experiences. In this paper, the authors present the results of their study on designing a flexible distance learning system that allows distance students access to an automation laboratory in real-time from a remote location. This system eliminates the difficulties of transportation of automation workstations, the installation of costly software on multiple computers, and gathering distance students at a central location at a specific time in order to conduct their laboratory experiments.
