The main goal of the Project Experiment@Portugal is to produce a complete survey of Portuguese developments in remote and virtual labs. This knowledge will provide the conditions for joining forces in order to organize a well structured national website integrating a database of available remote and virtual experiments, categorized for sharing purposes, and looking for delivering valuable contents...
This paper reports our experience in developing a team-based project activity to promote engineering programs among secondary school students. The aim of the activity is to increase the interest of students for science and technology in general, but also to promote engineering skills, capabilities and values, leading to attract more secondary school students to enrollment for engineering programs...
This paper introduces a new set of compact interactive simulations developed for the constructive learning of computer networks concepts. These simulations, which compose a virtual laboratory implemented as portable Java applets, have been created by combining EJS (Easy Java Simulations) with the KivaNS API. Furthermore, in this work, the skills and motivation level acquired by the students are evaluated...
Laboratory courses are essential in engineering education in preparing students for engineering experience and practice. Through laboratory experiments, students could develop and enhance their knowledge and skills in the relevant engineering field. In the laboratory, students learn by doing, by practicing engineering skills that they might perform in the future. What are students' perceptions on...
Science labs have repeatedly shown their impact on high school students for increasing the interest in natural sciences and engineering. Due to the fact that pupils are experimenting independently, their natural interest in research can be reactivated due to improved intrinsic motivation. However, with the increasing density in school curricula - in Germany especially caused by the reduction of the...
This paper describes the work done at the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences towards integrating VISIR-based labs on the iLab architecture. The Virtual Systems in Reality (VISIR) project is carried out by the Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden and features a platform for performing experiments in different domains.
This paper describes the results of a study undertaken on Master of Science students in order to analyse their characteristics as digital students and how this can influence their use of the “Politehnica” University of Timisoara Virtual Campus. The students most used and important tools are search engines, online instant messenger and mobile phones, with direct implications on the development of their...
