During the last decade we have witnessed rapid developments of
computer networks and Internet technologies along with dramatic
improvements in the processing power of personal computers. These
developments make Interactive Distance Education a reality. By
designing and deploying distributed and collaborative applications
running on computers disseminated over the Internet, distance
educators can reach remote learners, overcoming the time and
distance constraints. Besides the necessary theoretical base
provided by lectures and written materials, hands-on experience
provided by physical laboratories is a vital part for engineering
education. It helps engineering students become effective
professionals. Such instruction not only provides the students with
the knowledge of the physical equipment but also adds the important
dimension of group work and collaboration. However, laboratories
are expensive to setup, to maintain and provide long hours of daily
staffing. Due to budget limitations, many universities and colleges
can provide only limited access to such physical equipment.
Therefore, it is imperative to enable remote access to a physical
laboratory, either as part of an on-site or distance learning
course.
