“…By engaging in hands-on experiments, students can develop practical skills such as problem-solving, data analysis, and decision-making [12]. In addition to virtual laboratories based on simulations, with RRLs students observe real phenomena, leading to a deeper understanding of theoretical principles.…”

The present work proposes a flexible framework for the deployment of real remote laboratories (RRLs). These kinds of laboratory allow students to access hands-on experiences and experiments through an online platform, eliminating the geographical and time constraints associated with traditional on-site laboratories. This innovative approach has proven especially valuable in STEM disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), where hands-on practice and interaction with specialised equipment are critical to learning. In our approach, RRL has been developed for practices in digital electronics and control systems considering multiple practical situations related to distant learning using RRLs accessible through an online booking system. This is an essential tool that allows students to make reservations accessing the practical platform and due to that, it has been integrated into a particular learning management system (LMS) using a separate database online server for greater flexibility and usability. To perform laboratory activities remotely, each RRL instance has local ad hoc hardware that enables the generation and control of different signals letting users to test different practices with the same hardware. The proposed framework can be applied in many knowledge fields and different educational levels for laboratory resource sharing allowing students to receive new teaching technologies online that allow them to use real laboratory equipment avoiding the use of simulations and related constraints to on-site laboratories.INDEX TERMS Control systems, digital electronics, laboratory resource sharing, real remote laboratory, real-time remote experiments, remote laboratory management, STEM distance learning.

“…This is because 'engineering' inherently embodies the characteristics of a 'project', meaning there is a natural closeness between the two. The outcomes of PBL studies in engineering are evident across various subjects, such as software engineering [22], computer engineering [23], mechanical engineering [17], and so on. However, the application of PBL in practice remains limited, even in developed countries and regions known for their innovation prowess.…”

China’s undergraduate engineering education is facing two significant challenges: passive learning and limited cross-cultural communication. In response, active learning methods such as project-based learning (PBL) and Sino-foreign cooperative education emerge as promising solutions. However, despite their potential, PBL’s application remains constrained, and many Sino-foreign cooperative programs persist with traditional passive learning approaches. How to adeptly integrate the two, namely realizing active learning in Sino-foreign cooperative education, is the primary objective of this study. To this end, a sustainable strategy for cross-cultural transfer and the adaptation of active learning is proposed. Initially, a PBL-based active learning pedagogy is tailored for a course within a Sino-Australian cooperative undergraduate program. This approach integrates hands-on activities, teamwork, and the flipped classroom method. Moreover, to ensure implementation quality, an assessment method reliant on continuous student survey feedback is suggested. Subsequently, through the statistical analysis of students’ survey data as well as final grades, both quantitative and qualitative results affirm the efficacy of the proposed strategy.
