“…Further, a virtual networking environment permitting students to deploy virtual instances of real‐life network devices has been created at Charles Sturt University . A virtual engine laboratory application for use in automotive engineering education has been proposed to allow the practical teaching of powertrain calibration , and a virtual geophysical laboratory system (VGLS) has been developed to help users understand and master laboratory equipment and experimental procedures in geophysical education . In addition, the CalSev 1.0.2 educational software has been developed to provide teaching support in materials selection seminars , while a virtual electrophysics laboratory has been designed to simulate vacuum systems, powerful pulse technology, accelerator electronic systems, and channels transporting high‐energy particles .…”

A web‐based virtual laboratory for SHRIMP

Liu

Tian

et al. 2018

This paper introduces a novel web‐based virtual laboratory to assist teaching of Sensitive High Resolution Ion Micro‐probe (SHRIMP) implementation, called SHRIMP VL. This virtual laboratory is especially designed to aid learning of the instrument operation procedure. SHRIMP VL was developed based on hypertext preprocessor (PHP) technology and the Browser/Server application model, combined with the Yii framework and database technology. The virtual lab includes a virtual experiment platform to simulate the experiment procedure of the actual instrument and show experiment results. It also provides an immersive and visible virtual environment with navigational hints to guide user learning of the experiment operation, as well as theory presentations. To evaluate this virtual laboratory, two questionnaires were provided to students, who reported that SHRIMP VL is effective in helping them understand and master the instrument and experimental procedures, thereby improving their learning efficiency and laying foundations for personal operation of on‐site instruments.

“…Nevertheless, one of the greatest problems that confronts us is how to adequately cultivate the practical skills of students in a relatively safe and economic way, since boarding an offshore platform for practical training is almost impossible for undergraduate students with the consideration of security. Practical training is an important and indispensable part in engineering education . Especially for offshore oil and gas engineering, many concepts are abstract for students.…”

“…In order to attract the interests of young learners, virtual laboratories have been increasingly developed in many universities in the past decades. As reviewed by Burke et al , there are three categories of virtual laboratories. The first one is a virtual reality laboratory which emulate part or all the real environment.…”

Virtual emulation laboratories for teaching offshore oil and gas engineering

et al. 2018

Offshore practical training is extremely challenging for undergraduate students from the point of view of security. In order to create a safe training environment for offshore oil and gas engineering education, three virtual emulation laboratories have been developed. The components, functions, and connections of the emulators are described in this paper. The use of these laboratories and the feeling of students are discussed. It is evident from the evaluation of learning outcomes that using such virtual laboratories is a preferred approach to cultivate the practical skills of undergraduate students more safely and economically. Moreover, the confidence and innovative capability are enhanced significantly.
