Engineering courses can benefit of using remote labs to support teaching and online learning. Online experimentation represents also a very important support in engineering teaching and can be used to improve the students learning process, for example in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering courses, on several topics. A remote lab based on a vibrating bean apparatus could be an effective tool to be used in practical classes and to enhance the students' experimental skills. This paper describes the demonstration of an online experiment, supported by a remote lab system, to carry out some experiments using a vibrating beam. An experimental setup is used to interact with the remote lab through a Web platform, where students can perform different experiments, visualizing and obtaining data in real time from the remote system.

Remote laboratory is considered as a system integrated particular systems that implement certain aspects of teaching distance learning scenarios of engineering design. Using set-theoretic models it was described the hierarchy of the particular subsystems, in which the control unit of one subsystem was at the same time a control object of a higher level subsystem. It was presented examples of the remote lab structures of control systems design scenarios with taking into consideration possible defects, emergencies in control object and complex dynamics of external factors in control system.

One of the main concerns in development of remote laboratories in academic settings has been the lack of standardization in terms of technology, processes, operation and aspects related to their integration with formal educational environments. Remote laboratories are used in a variety of educational situations, for instance, when the equipment is not available in the physical laboratory, when physically laboratory space available is not sufficient to either set up the experiments or permit access to all students in the course, or when the teacher wants to provide laboratory experiences to students taking courses via distance education. Centers have been forming platforms that provide remote access to a collection of physical experiments that provide alternatives to educational institutions to reduce budgets of not only equipment purchases but also in other expenses such as: people, space, maintenance, and electricity consumption. This paper explains the different types of laboratories and hybrid combinations, and presents Unified Modeling Language (UML) models for remote laboratories in the educational context incorporating learning environments, as well as a model of the user roles that defines user interactions with remote laboratories.

Universities and educational organizations or institutions, when designing any electronics course, trust in experimentation through laboratory practices in order to build successful cross-curricular capabilities and capacities. In electronics courses there is a need to have practical experiences, the benefits of electronics laboratory practices are widely known for professionals and necessary for any person who seeks for a broad comprehension of the real-time performance beyond the ideal modelling. Therefore, when designing any electronics course, the laboratory practices are one of the pillars on which the learning is established. Distance education has become widespread in the last decade and has fostered lifelong learning and continuing education patterns, allowing access to learning resources at any time and from everywhere. It has been possible thanks to the internet development and technologies associated with learning tools for a new teaching pedagogy. To support life-long learning and students' autonomous learning activities, remote experimentation has become a challenge in electronics courses; rather, the way the universities and educational organizations or institutions deliver remote experimentation to students in distance learning environments, has become a challenge. Nowadays, there is an extensive variety for providing theoretical contents in distance learning (videos, documents, tutorials, scaffolding activities, peer-to-peer reviews, forums, etc.) to students. These tools, by an efficiently and appropriate selection from professors and use from students, can complement or replace successfully in-person education, even they can reach some aspects that in-person education cannot achieve. Unfortunately, practical issues are not as developed as theoretical ones are. A first approach to this problem is clearly the use of simulators and virtual labs. Although, they are still a bit far from providing to student the real performance and features of equipment under real-life operation conditions. The major challenge is the provision of laboratory working online along with the theoretical contents in a massive context.

Device interaction and file systems design is an important part of the computer science Operating Systems course. The system to be demonstrated in this work interfaces a commercial Geiger counter module with a cluster of Raspberry PI computers running Linux to provide timestamps between background radiation events. These time intervals are acquired and used by students to generate "true" random numbers. Seamlessly networked into the CS department servers, students remotely access the cluster and build their own File Systems in User Space (FUSE) to provide access to both random numbers and background radiation counts. Collectively, the hardware and software provide an inexpensive remote laboratory experience for the computing students.

With the advent of various Online courses and the continuing demand for additional qualifications for working individuals, effective Engineering courses for Online programs is turning out to be the need of the hour. The need for continuously updating oneselfis driving the organizations to resort to trainings and additional degrees for their employees. Several times, these trainings are specific short term introductory sessions with very limited access to the resources needed to accomplish their tasks. A physical online laboratory would immensely help in addressing these challenges. In addition to this, it helps Undergraduate, Post Graduate and Research students gain round the clock all through the year access to complex physical system which has only limited access otherwise. It is to be noted that Majority of the existing physical Laboratory infrastructure is mostly underutilized with a utilization factor being a mere 1.37% [1]! With this being the bigger objective, the current paper is focused on getting the Software infrastructure online with each of the user being able to access at their convenience remotely in accordance to the licensing terms and conditions of the software provider.

This work approaches the development of a remote lab for teaching mechanical principles based on Galileo's Inclined Plane Experiment. The lab can be used in order to cover concepts such as second Newton's Law and force decomposition in high school and higher education. The prototype was built making use of open hardware and software solutions to facilitate its replication. It uses Raspberry Pi to retrieve data from sensors and send commands to actuators connected to it, and provide video streaming from a generic webcam.

A short view on the remote experiment in 2016 allows us to affirm that it represents: "an infusion of technology in learning environment" and also "the transformation of technology in catalyst of learning". After some years of the remote experiment implementation and its use as a new tool in teaching/leaning, we are able to notice that, together with e-learning, we assist at an important process regarding the movement of education process from "knowledge transfer" to a "mixture of blended, collaborative, and active with in-class model". The evolution of the digital reality, in this period of the remote experiment implementation, becomes so important that laws defined at the beginning as an exercise have been confirmed by reality, and start to have important effects. We are referring to: Moores' law: "...the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles approximately every 18 months." [1]. The confirmation of the veracity of this law consists in the spectacular increasing of the processing speed and memory capacity. Neilsen's law: "...the connection speed increases by 50% per year." [1]. In education the effects of this law are not proportional because telecom companies - being conservative - act as a break, and because users do not want to spend much money on bandwidth. Edholm's law: "...the curve of growth of wireless connections is more rapid than wire-line growth.". Kryder's law: "...hard drive storage capacity doubles every 12 months in the case of HDDs and doubles every 18 months in the case of solid state storages." [1]. Metcalf's law: "...the physical cost of the network grows linearly when it increases while its value grows exponentially, being proportional with the square of the number of connected users.". In this landscape, remote experiment encapsulates the idea that laboratory work or industrial applications embedded with sensors and actuators, sustained with proper software and connected wirelessly to the Internet - improved the education system in terms of content, speed, cost and so on. At other angle of vision, this phenomenon might be considered as: massive integration of the physical world in cyber space.
