3 What is “Improving Laboratories”?
More stations More reliability More experiments More accessibility More easily used

4 What is "Internet Controlled Equipment"?
Lab experiments offered via the WEB

5 What is "Internet Controlled Equipment"?
Lab experiments offered via the WEB WHY ? Accommodates Scheduling Problems Can serve equipment-challenged campuses It's all the go to get on the Web We enjoy doing this stuff

6 What is "Internet Student Support"?
Student support offered via the WEB Team mailing lists Discussion Forums FAQ Intelligent Agent responder

7 Good News- Bad News Hardware Managing "distant" experiments students
It works It's free Managing "distant" students

29 Vision & Plans Remote Expanded learning opportunities Engineering
Asynchronous Laboratories University Partners Industry Partners

30 Vision & Plans -- Students will have access to on-line labs with a
variety of experimental systems in mechanical and chemical engineering

31 Vision & Plans -- Students will be able to easily design and
conduct experiments from home, dorm, computer lab or office

32 Vision & Plans -- Students will be able to compare
local lab experimental results with on-line lab results

33 Vision & Plans -- Faculty will have materials
to implement remote laboratory experiments in their own institutions

34 Vision & Plans -- Faculty will have more diverse laboratory offerings

35 Vision & Plans -- Faculty will be able to easily use on-line labs
in classroom demonstrations
