Remote Laboratory in Electrical Engineering

Gourmaj, MouradMourad GOURMAJ received a M.Sc. in Telecommunication System Engineering from Abdelmalek Essaâdi University in Tetuan, Morocco and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Hassan 1st University, Settat, Morocco. His research interests include Control Engineering, Augmented Reality, Data Acquisition, Power Electronics, and Remote Labs.

Remote laboratories which are based on the development of Internet technologies, implementation of information and telecommunication technologies. They have been considered as an increasingly popular innovation in engineering education. Moreover, remote labs have had an enormous impact on engineering as they help both students and teachers to access real experiments on real hardware at anytime they want and from anywhere through Internet. Over the last decade, and due to many factors, more web-based laboratories have been integrated into educational process; and many institutes have explored the WWW to transfer their theoretical works and the activities of their laboratories towards distributed contexts. A remote laboratory presents high quality features and it is an easy way to perform experiments; the thing that distinguishes it from other simulated laboratories which do not use real equipment. This work focuses on the development and implementation of a remote laboratory, for enhancing educational laboratories in electrical machines and digital electronics.
