Abstract-In the engineering curriculum, remote labs are becoming a popular learning tool. The advantages of these laboratories and the different deployments have been analyzed many times, but in this paper we want to show the results of the students' opinion about WebLab-Deusto as a learning tool. This work is focused on the subjects Programmable Logic (PL) in the third year of Electronics Engineering and in Electronics Design (ED) of the fifth year of the same degree. The paper presents the results of the surveys done by students since 2004. This survey consists of fifteen questions and its main objective is to measure the acceptance, usability and usefulness of the remote laboratory developed at University of Deusto from the students point of view.

“…A further example is a remote laboratory system for field-programmable gate array (FPGA) with an architectural design abstracted in a number of layers for allowing designers to reduce the overhead of setting up and operating a laboratory environment [34] . Using an automation tool for specifying a given hardware subsystem, a configuration file is created and then sent into the FPGA via a client application.…”

Nowadays remote laboratories suffer the absence of reusability. In addition, their construction and maintenance require time, money and skills. The system implementation of a specific remote lab is neither generic nor reusable. In this paper, a solution for a reusable remote lab dedicated for disparate types of scientific and engineering experiments is presented. The experiment designer needs only to connect the experiment components and equipment such as capacitors, resistors, transistors, function generators with a switch system of a lab server, then, she/he has to map this connection structure in a configuration data structure. Once a student starts the Web-based client user-interface and logs-in into the lab server, the menu structure of the graphical user-interface builds and initializes itself automatically, using information stored in a configuration data structure. This contribution discusses some hitherto used lab servers, some of their drawbacks, the desirable requirements on a universal remote lab, which simplify the building process of newer lab experiments consisting of experiment components and equipment as well as a client user-interface that could enable students to remotely access the experiment.

“…This is possible thanks to FPGA inherent reconfigurability. A similar FPGAbased remote laboratory is considered in [9]. However, comparing to [9], the proposed here tools have a number of distinctive features that will be described in detail in the subsequent three sections.…”

Abstract-This paper presents an original approach proposed and successfully used in University of Aveiro and targeted to advance e-learning tools and remote laboratories for state-ofthe-art engineering education. Nowadays, reconfigurable systems, in general, and FPGA (field-programmable gate array) based systems, in particular, constitute an essential part of engineering practice. The respective professional trends are, however, not reflected accordingly in contemporary engineering education curricula. The paper argues importance of reconfigurable systems in education and proposes effective learning methods and tools, which include laboratory templates, animated tutorials, education-oriented examples, a remotely reconfigurable prototyping system, and a virtual software/reconfigurable hardware co-simulation environment.
