What is“Computer Based”? Controls systems
What "Instrumentation"? REAL lab experiments, offered via the WEB --Experimental design --Operation of equipment --Retrieval of data
What is "Hands-On Operation"? Just what it says --Operation of equipment --Experimental design --Retrieval of data
What is "Remote Operation"? Just what it says REAL lab experiments, offered via the WEB --Operation of equipment --Experimental design --Retrieval of data

Vision & Plans Expanded learning opportunities Remote Engineering Asynchronous Laboratories University Partners Industry Partners
Vision & Plans -- Students will have access to on-line labs with a variety of experimental systems in chemical and mechanical engineering
Vision & Plans -- Students will be able to easily design and conduct experiments from home, dorm, computer lab or office -- 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 -- Faculty will have more diverse laboratory offerings -- Faculty will be able to easily use on-line labs in classroom demonstrations
