We propose a boron-coated straw (BCS) based fission counter that incorporates a 3×20 array of individually sealed BCS detectors, each 4.43 mm in diameter and 48 cm long. The straws are embedded inside a high-density polyethylene block with dimensions 48.3×38.1×5.08 cm3 (H×W×D), matching the outer dimensions of a commercially available fission counter (Ortec Fission Meter). The latter consists of two...
This paper discusses a new technology for making electric and electronic circuit experiments remotely. Virtual Instrument System in Reality (VISIR) has been implemented at the Spanish University for Distance Education (UNED) for new engineering grade's distance laboratories. It gives a brief update of the project and its implementation, on the other hand, discusses its role at the Electrical and Computer...
Technology-enhanced learning is not just interacting with learning objects. Physical labs are another useful resource in education, especially for engineering and science education. They are confined to the physical location they are bound to. It is obviously interesting for any learning process to be able to open up this access from remote locations in the same effective way as learning objects are...
Remote Laboratories have traditionally been focused on specific solutions for specific problems. We can find a wide range of Remote Laboratories in the literature, assisting different types of subjects but commonly bound to a restricted set of requirements. Due to this, little attention has been paid on working on a maintainable, scalable, secure architecture that addresses the requirements of a wider...
When teaching computer networks as part of a computer engineering degree, emphasis is placed on higher-layer protocols while physical and data-link layers usually play a secondary role. Physical aspects of data communication are sometimes taught as an independent, not-related, topic whereas data-link concepts are ??hard?? to our students. We propose a new lab experience in which students can see IEEE...
The DIEEC (Electrical and Computer Engineering Department) of UNED (Spanish University for Distance Education) in Spain is elaborating different tools to teach in computer architecture subject by using new technologies. DIPSEIL (distributed Internet-based performance support environment for individualized learning) is one of the projects where we are experimenting with teaching by task in Internet...
