Collaborative Research: Developing Virtual and Remote Undergraduate Laboratory for Engineering Technology

工程-工程技术（58）该项目是德克萨斯南方大学和Prairie View a & M大学（两所hbcu）的合作项目，旨在改造实验室，以提供虚拟和远程（V-R）访问，并为这种类型的实验室准备教学材料。项目团队正在为实验室开发框架和网站，并为数字信号处理和机器人课程开发基于网络的实验。基于网络的框架是可扩展的，因此教师可以逐步添加更多的VR-Lab课件，从而使更多的课程和科目受益。开发这个实验室为不同机构之间的基础设施共享奠定了基础。由外部评估人员领导的评估工作正在使用调查和利用统计数据来监视项目结果的进展。该项目的材料和成果正在通过网站张贴、会议发言和期刊论文传播。更广泛的影响包括对少数民族学生的重视，教学材料的传播，为偏远地区和非传统学生提供实验室体验，以及通过现有项目扩大K-12的范围

Engineering - Engineering Technology (58)The project, a collaborative effort between Texas Southern University and Prairie View A & M University -- two HBCUs, is revamping laboratories to provide virtual and remote (V-R) access and preparing instructional material for this type of laboratory. The project team is developing the framework and website for the laboratory and web-based experiments for courses in digital signal processing and in robotics. The web-based framework is scalable so that faculty members can gradually add more VR-Lab courseware to benefit more courses and more subjects. Developing this laboratory is setting the stage for infrastructure sharing between different institutions. The evaluation effort, which is being led by an outside evaluator, is using surveys and utilization statistics to monitor progress toward the project outcomes. The project's material and results are being disseminated through website postings, conference presentations and journal papers. Broader impacts include the emphasis on minority students, the dissemination of the instructional material, providing laboratory experiences to remote and non traditional students, and K-12 outreach through existing programs
