On-Line Plant Operator Training with Remotely Operated Laboratory Equipment

工程-其他(58)这个项目正在创建学院的过程工厂技术和发电厂运营副学士学位课程的完全在线版本。第二学期和第三学期的课程需要完成实验室课程和使用各种设备的实验，这些课程使用高级过程控制培训器，使其能够通过互联网操作时间敏感型过程控制设备。这个项目正在回答有关在互联网上进行复杂的实验室实验的实用性和可靠性的问题。可以在校外完成的在线实验室练习和考试集使用户能够完成几门加工厂技术课程的要求。针对现有操作员和维护人员的一系列小型练习使他们能够在安全的环境中提高新的操作控制系统的技能。评估包括监控项目活动以确保及时开发教材，并将开发的课程的在线版本与面对面版本进行比较，以突出学生学习质量的差异。正在通过网络分发课程材料，免费在线迷你课程可供下载，还可在工艺技术促进中心年度会议上分发光盘。

Engineering - Other (58)This project is creating fully on-line versions of the college's Process Plant Technology and Power Plant Operations associate's degree programs. The second and third semester courses requiring completion of laboratory courses and experiments using a wide variety of equipment are utilizing an Advanced Process Control Trainer that gives the ability to operate time sensitive process control equipment via internet. This project is answering questions about the practicality and reliability of doing complex laboratory experiments over the internet. An on-line collection of laboratory exercises and exams that can be completed off-campus is allowing users to complete requirements for several process plant technology courses. A series of mini-exercises for current operators and maintenance personnel is allowing them to upgrade their skills on a new operating control system in a safe environment.Evaluation consists of monitoring the project activities to ensure timely development of the educational materials and comparing on-line versions of the developed courses with the face-to-face versions to highlight differences in the quality of student learning. Curriculum materials are being disseminated via the web, with free on-line mini courses available for downloading as well as CD-ROM distribution at the annual meeting of the Center for the Advancement of Process Technology.
