As technology transforms the landscape of engineering education, the need for flexible, accessible, and hands-on learning tools has become paramount. Traditional laboratory environments often face limitations in terms of space, equipment, and access, creating barriers to the immersive learning experiences critical for developing practical engineering skills.
In response, SmartLabAcademy @ CCEB is envisioned as an innovative remote laboratory platform designed to enhance the educational experience in NTU’s College of Engineering by integrating IoT and cloud-based solutions.
The SmartLab initiative aims to transform hands-on learning in the fields of electronics, control systems, and instrumentation by establishing a real-time remote laboratory accessible to students online. This platform will enable students to conduct experiments on key concepts like PID control, frequency response, and sensor calibration in a safe, remote setting. SmartLab’s core components include:
The simulations-based experiments can be accessed remotely via the internet.
