This work concerns a Web-based system for learning some principles and methods in a mechatronics system that can be accessed remotely over the Internet, at any time and from any location. The investigation involves a case study to illustrate a manufacturing process and evaluate the remote experimental procedure. The main aim reported here is to determine students' perceptions towards Web-based versus traditional experiments and identify any differences in final grade point averages. The experiment was performed at National Changhua University of Education, Taiwan, with an implementation period covering six semesters and a total of 226 students divided randomly into 'traditional' and 'Web-based' groups. The Web-based system helped students understand the concepts and master the technologies associated with Web-based mechatronic monitoring and control. Four out of six semesters surveyed recorded statistically significant differences between student perceptions of traditional and Web-based experimentation.
This work examines the development and implementation of an integrated sensor platform based on graphical monitoring and control. This work focuses mainly on determining the state of different switch sensors and to display the sensor state results on the platform using graphical monitoring and control technology. This platform integrates graphical monitoring and control technology with four different switch sensor devices. Via this platform, students can determine the characteristics, function, and application of different switch sensors and learn to use graphical monitoring and control technology. Students then learn, verify, and realize lecture concepts by performing different sensor experiments in the laboratory via this novel platform.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
