“…Mostly, the research on virtual education was primarily conducted at school level for students and focusing on enhancing the subject matters [13], [15]. The only research that having in-depth study on the virtual laboratory at higher education levels was focusing on chemistry [14] and electrical engineering [16], [17]. However, none of these studies have provided final outcomes of the implemented virtual laboratory in terms of student perceptions or laboratory performance towards the course and program output for continuous quality improvement in the laboratory.…”

<p>The widespread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic led to a discovery that open distance learning (ODL) has turned out to be the only choice for teaching and learning by most institution (s) of higher learning (IHLs). In Malaysia, ODL is considered a new approach as physical laboratory practice has always been conducted for laboratory courses. This is a quantitative study which explores the perceptions of e-Lab among the students of bachelor’s in electrical and electronic engineering (EE) by focusing on the effectiveness and readiness in conducting the e-Lab. Simulation-based model is proposed for conducting the e-Lab using an interactive media and validated with the final score performance. With the future goals of improving the e-Lab in terms of delivering methods and engaging mediums between students and laboratory instructor, this study also discovered the levels of response from students’ perception to substitute the conventional laboratory by providing an equivalent and comparable learning experiences of the students.</p>

“…The React-based NCSLab system can be concluded into four different tiers from the perspective of datalinks while conducting online experimentation [ 22 ], which is the same as the YUI-based NCSLab system [ 39 , 40 ]. Figure 2 illustrates the four-tier architecture, which is described in detail as follows.…”

“…With the rapid development of front-end technologies, React which is the most popular front-end JavaScript framework in the world has gained widespread acceptance and has been adopted by more and more developers. The latest version of Networked Control System Laboratory (NCSLab) which is an online laboratory adopts React to construct a new architecture to provide better user experience [ 13 , 22 ].…”

“…The functions of online algorithm design and execution have been accomplished, such as real-time monitoring configuration interface construction [28], three-dimensional (3D) interaction [29][30][31], virtual wiring practice based on HyperText Markup Language 5 (HTML5). As shown in Figure 2, NCSLab can be divided into a fourlayer network structure [32,33]. They are the clients' side, central web servers, regional experimental server, and test rigs.…”

Online experimental systems that include remote and virtual experiments based on the Internet has become a new form of experiment in engineering education. This paper proposes a virtual experiment for the complex process control system. It is based on the networked control system laboratory (NCSLab), which provides a reliable framework for virtual thermal experiment. Taking the combustion system of 1000 MW ultra-supercritical coal-fired once-through boiler-turbine units as an example, the framework and the implementation process of the online system are given in this paper. A new presentation form for complex processes control experiment is provided, which could be a solution for simulating physical experimental equipment in virtual environments. The potential danger in practical experiments could be avoided. Additionally, the real-time operation for complex control systems could be presented in a 3D scene. Meanwhile, the flexibility and efficiency could be increased in engineering experimental education. Moreover, using the experiment evaluation method, the references and feedback for teaching and assessment are provided in this paper.
