Abstract :
It is already more than 10 years that weblabs are seen as important resources to provide the experimental work required in engineering education. Several weblabs have been applied in engineering courses, but there are still unsolved problems related to the development of their infrastructures. For solving some of those problems, it was implemented a weblab with a reconfigurable infrastructure compliant with the IEEE1451.0 Std. and supported by Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology. This paper presents the referred weblab, and provides and analyses a set of researchers´ opinions about the implemented infrastructure, and the adopted methodology for the conduction of real experiments.
