实验在本科工程专业学生的教育中发挥着重要作用，因为它们提供了该学科基础上的实践经验。不幸的是，最近德国的大学课程从文凭改为学士/硕士模式，对课程和课程安排产生了直接的负面影响。其结果是，第一年的课程负担过重;练习或实践课程从第一学期起就被完全取消，被重新安排到以后的学期，而且时间也缩短了。因此，必须开发其他形式的实验并将其整合到现有的课程或讲座中;虚拟实验室和远程实验提供了这样一种选择：它们使学生能够每周7天/24小时访问设备，它们独立于开放时间和工作人员的工作时间表。此外，模拟还有其他一些优点：它们可以更好地控制模拟现象，允许观察效果并运行在实际应用中很难测量或执行的实验。除了成本效益外，模拟的另一个优点是可以在简化的环境中观察效果，而不会产生任何测量误差。
Experiments play an important role in the education of undergraduate engineering students as they provide hands-on experience on the foundations of the discipline. Unfortunately, the recent change of the university program in Germany from the Diploma to the Bachelor/Master model had a direct negative impact on the curricula and the course schedules. The result of which is that the first-year curriculum is overloaded; exercises or practical courses have been dropped altogether from the first term, have been rescheduled to later terms and have been reduced in length. For this reason, other forms of experimenting have to be developed and integrated into the existing courses or lectures; virtual laboratories and remote experiments offer such an option: they enable students to access equipment 24h/7 days a week, they are independent from opening hours and the work schedule of the staff. Furthermore, simulations do have some other advantages: they provide a better control on the simulated phenomenon, allow observing effects and running experiments that are only very hard to measure or perform in practical applications. Another advantage besides their cost-efficiency is that simulations allow observations of effects in a simplified environment without any measurement errors.
