Abstract
The emergence of new fields is forcing engineering educators to constantly reconsider both the content and means of delivery of modern curricula, which requires the conception, implementation and assessment of innovative pedagogical approaches and technical realizations. Many Internet-based tools are currently being introduced that promise to enhance the educational experience of on -campus students and expand the reach of unique educational offerings beyond the local campus. A laboratory approach based on remotely accessible experimental setups was developed and piloted at Stevens. This paper discusses the development of a scalable system architecture for remote experimentation, which enables the interaction of many users with a network of spatially distributed experimental devices. The paper concludes with an outlook on possible directions for future remote laboratory developments based on an assessment of the main advantages and shortcomings of the current system.Keywords
