The development of feasible and cost-effective remote engineering and science laboratories is one of the most important problems facing the progress of online technical education. In this paper, we describe the development of a complete remote laboratory for the instruction of control engineering. Equipped with common industrial sensors and actuators, the system represents temperature and flow processes regulated with an industrial Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). Using local monitoring, we enable students to perform interactive real plant experimentation in control and automation without the overhead incurred in maintaining a full presence laboratory.

<p class="0abstractCxSpFirst">The unprecedented growth in Internet technologies has created revolutionary changes in the use of collaborative learning tools with remote experimentation. These tools enhance the experiential learning aspects of engineering education. Laboratory experiments are integral part of science and engineering education. Automation is changing the nature of these laboratories, and the focus of the system designer is on the availability of various interfacing tools to access the laboratory hardware remotely with the integration of computer supported learning environment.</p><p class="0abstractCxSpMiddle">Work on laboratory experiments and project works requires access to expensive hardware equipments. The high cost of these instruments along with time consuming development process of experimentation in the educational process creates a significant bottleneck. There is a need for the development of remote laboratory using which the users can access the laboratory instruments and the programmable devices remotely on their smart phones/tablets to perform the laboratory experiments. This implementation avails laboratory facility for complete twenty four hours a day and will increase the productivity of the laboratory hardware and measuring instruments.</p><p class="0abstractCxSpLast">This paper presents the detailed architecture and the implementation details of remote laboratory by which user can perform laboratory experiments remotely. Develop mobile based remote laboratory where user can access remote laboratory on his smart phone or tablet to perform the experiments. Software application is developed on Android platform for the implementation.</p>

Behaviour of geotechnical material is very complex. Most of the theoretical frame work to understand the behaviour of geotechnical materials under different loading conditions depends on the strong background of the basic civil engineering subjects and advanced mathematics. However, it is fact that the complete behaviour of geotechnical material cannot be traced within theoretical framework. Recently, computational models based on Finite Element Method (FEM) are used to understand the behaviour of geotechnical problems. FEM models are quite complex and is of little interest to undergraduate students. A simple computational tool developed using Discrete Element Method (DEM) to simulate the laboratory experiments will be cutting edge research for geotechnical earthquake engineering education. This article summarizes the potential of DEM to simulate the cyclic triaxial behaviour of granular materials under complex loading conditions. It is shown that DEM is capable of simulating the cyclic behavior of granular materials (e.g. undrained, liquefaction and post liquefaction) similar to the laboratory experiments.
