Improving Laboratories with Internet Controlled Equipment and Internet Student Support
Jim Henry, Ph.D., P.E.Charles Knight, Ph.D., P.E.College of Engineering and Computer ScienceUniversity of Tennessee at Chattanooga SouthEast ASEE, 2000 Roanoke, VA
What is “Improving Laboratories”?
More stationsMore reliabilityMore experimentsMore accessibilityMore easily used
What is "Internet Controlled Equipment"?
Lab experimentsoffered via the WEB
WHY ?Accommodates Scheduling ProblemsCan serve equipment-challenged campusesIt's all the go to get on the WebWe enjoy doing this stuff

Vision & Plans
Expanded learning opportunities
RemoteEngineering
AsynchronousLaboratories
University Partners Industry Partners
Vision & Plans
-- Students will have access
to on-line labs with a
variety of experimental systems
in mechanical and
chemical engineering
Vision & Plans
-- Students will be able
to easily design and
conduct experiments
from home, dorm, computer lab
or office
Vision & Plans
-- Students will be able to compare
local lab experimental results
with on-line lab results
Vision & Plans
-- Faculty will have materials
to implement remote laboratory
experiments in their own institutions
