Abstract:
Problem-solving is the key skill expected in any industry, especially in continuing learning related to engineering and technology. In the industry, the study requires stopping production and conducting the trials requiring a lot of time with financial implications. In the physical laboratory at the institute, the presence of the student and the faculty is limited by time and space. Remote labs and virtual labs can ease these concerns with the help of technology. Considering these factors, remote and virtual labs have been developed and offered for continuing education students across engineering domains. This research work has focused on the demonstration of the design and establishment of the Fluid Mechanics and Machines remote lab. The study includes IT, physical infrastructure and instructional strategy deployed in the lab. It also presents the statistics with respect to the number of experiments performed, assessment and feedback by the students.
