“…The particular importance in the engineering educational context of the practical experience has shown that effective teaching requires an interdependent approach combining theoretical material supported by practical laboratory experiments [16]. Andújar, Mejías and Márquez [17] have developed a augmented remote laboratory (ARL), which offers a training environment that is the same as those in a physical laboratory, proving the possibilities of AR technologies for practical online training in the scientific and engineering fields.…”

A variety of advanced learning technologies has emerged to enhance learning, promote hands-on experiences, and increase interest in engineering and technical education. The possibility of access to a superior education is on hands of a great number of students while the resources which are available do not increase in the same way, limiting the quality of the teaching, so, it is necessary to look for alternatives that insure an access to the resources of a way regular, monitored an efficient. The remote laboratories avoid these gaps, however the development of these laboratories is of a great cost and their application is very specific. The fact of adding virtual information to the observed results by the students increases the quantity of information, provides us a great absorption of the contents and an expansion of the case studies. That is why it is possible to add the answer to questions like why this happens, or what would happen if the conditions of the experiment were different.The augmented reality provides an easy way to control a remote laboratory, creating a realist, simple and practical interface from any place in the world. To achieve the objectives mentioned above, this document shows how you can control a remote laboratory with augmented reality.

“…Unfortunately, such SBC is not available in the market. We therefore decided to design and develop the SBC as shown in Figures 1 and 2 with the features are as follows: (2), a push button (3), a 4 Â 3 hexadecimal keypad (4), eight LEDs (5), four 7-segment displays (6), and an HD44780 compatible 2 Â 16 alphanumeric LCD (7). The status of the input devices (the DIP switches, push button, and keypad) are read and then sent to the microcontroller through the input ports while data from the microcontroller are sent to the output devices (LEDs and displays) through the output ports.…”

A single board computer (SBC) based on the AT89S52 (a member of MCS-51 family) microcontroller with an ADC, serial and parallel communications, and input/output devices such as a pushbutton, a keypad, LEDs, 7-segment displays, and an LCD was developed for teaching an instrumentation system course to the sophomore students. Five microcontroller-related laboratory experiments offered to the students within the 15-week semester are (i) basic programming of the microcontroller, (ii) interfacing the DIP switches, LEDs, and 7-segment displays, (iii) application of the analog multiplexer and the ADC with the LCD, (iv) serial communication and application of the HyperTerminal, and (v) measurement of water temperature, displaying the measurement result, and application of the LabView.

“…It is widely accepted that ongoing innovations in the area of embedded systems in education (Wolf and Madsen, 2000;Beetner et al, 2000) coupled with the potential of TCP/IP networks (Woodroffe et al, 2008;Schreier, 2007) are driving the reassessment of the curriculum in the technical subjects. By themselves, embedded Micro-Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) controllers are increasingly being found in standalone experiments dealing with control, data acquisition and communication with a host computer.…”
