This paper describes a features of development and using of interuniversity scientific and educational network «Synergy» for training of engineers in the field of automation, robotics and mechatronic systems. This network provides: 1) giving of distance lectures by leading professors; 2) carrying out of laboratory classes with remote using laboratory facilities; 3) remote education on project design based on results received during real scientific and commercial projects; 4) practices on laboratory and industrial equipment. Also in paper, some features of software and hardware implementation for remote work with laboratory and industrial equipment in the network is described. Several examples of laboratory work and project design by students remotely implemented using the network is presented.
