Enhancing Engineering Educational Using Virtual Lab Technology

Providing Engineering lab equipments at each and every corner of this world is not possible but it is possible to provide a software!Virtual Lab technology adapts this concept and provides education to as much remote as possible locations.Virtual Lab is an Embedded Android Mobile Application that interfaces with the real physical lab equipments and makes it possible to conduct experiments from remote location.Virtual Lab is connected to main Lab from a Remote lab using Internet.It is also capable of connecting using Bluetooth, provided Virtual Lab application is running in a device which is near to Lab equipment.It takes input from the user and sends corresponding signals to the hardware using HTTP protocol.Students can perform their experiments on their Android device virtually and see the live result which is carried out in the main central lab using high quality video streaming.Experiments are preloaded in the application and new experiments can be loaded by updating the application.This application is connected to a web-server that in turn connects it to a loud database, which provides study materials for the students and faculties any time.
