A Web-based Interactive Real Laboratory for Process Engineering Education

چکیده
An online supervision and control of a laboratory designed for process engineering education was conceived. The principal aim was to minimise the time access of an operator when manipulating laboratory features. Hence, the Time delay due to Internet traffic was overcome by using a Web Embedded Server (WES). A human-computer interactive interface using JAVA Script was developed so as to control multi-user access. The multi-user management was ensured by means of a PHP-based dynamic pages using sessions’ technique, implemented via an APACHE server in the local control system. Approach validation was conducted on a didactic lift considered as an engineering educational process. Online experimentation of the laboratory showed similar behaviour to the local manipulation. Moreover, the access time to laboratory features was significantly reduced and many facilities were offered to students.

Internet extends the reach of existing laboratory and training infrastructure to beyond the walls of such facilities. Though nothing can replace the hands-on experience in a laboratory; a carefully developed web-based digital lab may be the next best thing. In some cases, there may be benefits associated with a “distance laboratory” that are usually not available in a conventional lab. Due to r...
متن کاملA Virtual Assistant for Web-Based Training in Engineering Education
Experimentation has always been an essential ingredient to sustain the learning activities in engineering education. During traditional laboratory sessions, a huge amount of work is carried out by the assistant who is in charge of supporting and evaluating the students. In a Web-based experimentation setting students ask for more feedback while they work on simulation or remote manipulation. We...
