ECE SEMINAR: Remote Access Electronics and Communications Hardware Labs

Abstract:
Being able to complete hands-on laboratory classwork when away from the lab due to Covid or time and travel limitations is an important capability to offer to students. Allowing students to complete their lab sessions 24/7 and at their own pace is shown to complement and enhance their overall laboratory performance. Up to 6 different platforms located in Australia will be accessed & demonstrated live and participants are invited to also access them during the live demonstration. Each platform supports up to 60 students simultaneously as the hardware/server combination time-shares itself with multiple users at once. The system, netCIRCUITlabs, is currently operating worldwide and is the subject of several research studies.
