Abstract

Laboratory work is an integral part of science and engineering education. In this paper we describe a one-group exploratory mixed methods study carried out with final year UG engineering students from Controls and Instrumentation engineering department over a period of one semester. The Simulation and Remote Triggered Industrial Automation online labs are used to achieve the desired learning objectives for the course. The study is an excellent example of collaboration between two engineering institutes; one with the advanced industrial automation lab and the other lacking the resource and educational technology researcher in the broader interest of students.
