Recently, many educational institutions have acknowledged the importance of making laboratories available on-line, allowing their students to run experiments from a remote computer. While usage of virtual laboratories scales well, remote experiments, based on scarce and expensive rigs, i.e. physical resources, do not and typically can only be used by one person or cooperating group at a time. It is therefore necessary to administer the access to rigs, where we distinguish between three different roles: content providers, teachers and students. This paper reports on a conceptual model and technical design of a rig booking system that provides mechanisms for content providers and teachers to control and grant access to on-line remote laboratories. The design of the booking system is based on a requirements analysis carried out by the EC funded LiLa project in cooperation with international partners from the Global Online Lab Consortium, GoLC.

This paper describes the experience in collaborative learning based educational innovation for the Software Engineering Subject at the Telecommunications Engineering School of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. We describe the context of evolution of the Software Engineering related subjects in the Master's degree in Telecommunications Engineering (specialization in Telematics) for their adaptation to the educational and organizational postulates of the European Space for Higher Education. In this context, we describe a pilot project for the adaptation of the Software Engineering Lab course, which includes the development and validation of a software engineering tool environment and a web platform for collaborative work.

It is well accepted that ICT and media competencies are indispensable in the modern world, and that education at school and on the level of tertiary education should target to convey corresponding skills. However, there is much less agreement on specific skills that should be included, and there exist quite a few different proposals and approaches under terms such as media literacy, information literacy, and further more. In this paper, we provide an overview on these different concepts, highlight differences and similarities of these, and also discuss the terminology being applied in this context on an international level.

In this paper we will discuss the experience of using simple robotics projects to introduce first year students to engineering. The key learning objectives and tools used to implement them and the evaluation results will be detailed. Evaluation results show that robotics projects are effective in engaging the students and an effective active learning tool.

Contemporary microwave circuit design is based on EM simulations and complex simulation models. Simulation model design is a must for growing number of devices and systems for which theoretical (e.g., analytical) models are either not available or not sufficiently accurate to yield the design satisfying given performance requirements. As prototype manufacture is very costly, the use of computer simulations has become commonplace as a feasible alternative for manufactures and also for education. Accurate numerical evaluations are computationally expensive; particularly for complex microwave/microstrip structures and computationally efficient EM-driven design optimization can be realized using physically based behavioral models.

The technology of current home PC flight simulators, specifically their powerful graphics and the simulator physics models, makes them a useful resource for training and education. Although the teacher should help the student to be aware of the simulator's weak points, to avoid picking up misconceptions, PC flight simulators and internet virtual worlds are becoming recognized as an important training resource in aeronautical disciplines such as engineering. This paper presents an innovative project, developed by Escuela Universitaria de Ingeniería Técnica Aeronautica (EUITA) [University School of Aeronautical Technical Engineering] of the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid [Polytechnic University of Madrid], to help the students to master several aeronautical disciplines. The project includes the development of a complete set of educational simulations supported by commercial “off the shelf” flight videogame simulator and Internet Virtual World for pilot and air traffic control simulation.

The paper deals with the eLearning and its potential at the university level of education. The students' point of view is highlighted. The core of the contribution forms a quantitative-qualitative research. The research was based on a comparison of students' attitudes and evaluation of the demandingness of one selected university course. Data were gained in the traditional face-to-face lessons and in eLearning supported university instruction.
