Interactive Virtual Laboratory for Distance Education in Nuclear Engineering
نویسندگان
چکیده
A real time, distance lab module is being developed and implemented in the Department of Nuclear, Plasma and Radiological Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. This internet based system allows remote personnel to watch the experiments, acquire data, and interact with on-site personnel. The e-lab broadcasts not only the live scenes of laboratory and experiments, but also the real time data and plots being measured and displayed in graphical and other formats. Moreover, use of LabVIEW’s remote front panel feature allows communications between the local lab and remote client so that, if permitted, remote client can control part or all of the experiment in real-time.

متن کاملAdvances in engineering education Broadcasting engineering Laboratories—Audio/Video and Data—In real-Time Over the Internet
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...
