An internet-based distributed laboratory for interactive ChE education

Internet is expected to be efficient for the application in Chemical engineering Education, including different types of laboratory Web Sites, interactive simulations, and access to real instruments and test facilities through a remote connection. Some implementations of remote monitoring and control through the Internet has already proved to be effective. The teachers and students can run web-connected experiments on a flexible schedule, which provides educational facilities and opportunities for the students with asynchronous schedule. The teachers and the students of another institute can have access to laboratory facilities without developing the full cost of developing such resources. A tracer experiment is restructured to illustrate the connection between physical instruments and the server-client Internet system, which is used for the required undergraduate process control courses.
