“…It was followed by a series of work reported in 2000 by both Esche and Gurocak [7,8,9]. Each year, a growing body of work has appeared that has further validated both the technological viability of distance laboratories, and their effectiveness in delivering a worthwhile laboratory experience [10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

Abstract-This journal presents distance learning using the National Instruments ELVIS II and how Multisim can be combined with ELVIS II for distance learning. National Instrument's ELVIS II is a new version that can easily be used for e-learning. It features 12 of the commonly used instruments in engineering and science laboratories, including an oscilloscope, a function generator, a variable power supply, and an isolated digital multi-meter in a low-cost and easy-to-use platform and completes integration with Multisim software for SPICE simulation, which simplifies the teaching of circuit design. As NI ELVIS II is based on LabView, designers can easily customize the 12 instruments or can create their own using the provided source code for the instruments.

To bring greater attention to the areas of science, engineering and technology, the University of Hartford has merged its colleges of engineering and technology to form the College of Engineering, Technology, and Architecture (CETA). It has also launched the construction of a new building to house the integrated science, engineering and technology programs (ISET). We are actively pursuing initiatives that create a greater level of synergy between the programs and strengthen the college and deliver better-qualified graduates to the workforce. In response, the authors designed and have begun implementation of an automated laboratory test environment (ALTE). Users of ALTE can develop and remotely execute a variety of laboratory experiments over the Internet. Execution of the experiment hardware is controlled by a lab station personal computer (PC) linked directly to the device under test (DUT). Users first login to a management server that provides authentication and ensures that time has been reserved. It then redirects their browser to the appropriate lab station for the experiment they are about to run. The management server also stores experiment procedures needed by students to perform the lab.

“…address this problem, we recently finished development of an NSF-funded electronic laboratory book called e-LabBook. The front end of the e-LabBook [1,2] is on the Internet while the back end of it is connected to various laboratory hardware. A student can read this book and remotely conduct experiments with the actual hardware in real time from anywhere, anytime.…”

Hands-on experience gained in a laboratory is an invaluable part of the learning activity in undergraduate education. However, delivery of the laboratory experience in a distance education setting is a challenging problem. Our manufacturing engineering curriculum contains a required control systems course with weekly labs. This paper presents an electronic laboratory book called e-LabBook developed to deliver the "hands-on" lab experience with real equipment over the Internet. Design and implementation details of the e-LabBook are explained. Results from a recent course offering with the e-LabBook indicate that it can be a viable option in providing "hands-on" lab experience. I.
