Demonstration of modeling and simulation of physiological processes using a remote lab

Abstract

Remote and virtual labs represent a very important support in engineering teaching and can be used to improve the students learning process, for example of Biomedical Engineering courses, on topics such as the identification of models and control systems. This paper describes the demonstration of an online experiment, supported by a three-tank lab system, to model, simulate and monitoring a physiological process as the system of ingestion and excretion of a drug. A Web platform is used to interact with the remote and virtual lab, where students can visualize and obtain data in real time from the remote system.

Virtualizing Hands-On Mechanical Engineering Laboratories - A Paradox or Oxymoron

“…VLs have been studied in nearly every discipline in the physical sciences and engineering, i.e. biology (Scheckler, 2003;Spernjak & Sorgo, 2018), chemistry (Achuthan & Murali, 2015;Evans, Yaron, & Leinhardt, 2008), physics (Dong & Zhu, 2001;Tetour, Boehringer, Richter, & Ieee, 2011), and mechanical (Aziz, Esche, & Chassapis, 2009;Chang et al, 2015), electrical (Basher, Isa, Henini, & Ieee, 2004;Butz, Duarte, & Miller, 2006), computer science (Achuthan & Murali, 2015), chemical (Abdulwahed & Nagy, 2009;Granjo & Rasteiro, 2018) and biomedical (Cardoso et al, 2015;Romberg, Dyer, Berbari, & Ieee, 2013) engineering. The ways in which these virtual and remote learning environments and tools are used varies.…”
