The Virtual Laboratories Case Study in Traditional Teaching and E-Learning for Engineering Sciences

This paper leads on the case study of virtual laboratories for engineering sciences. The engineering education is most costly direction of education system. A quality of engineering strong depends on the laboratory base of university. To build new laboratories for teaching and learning of engineering sciences were one of the high cost projects. The development of computer technique helps to us to create virtual version of real engineering laboratories and use for teaching. The Mongolian University of Science and Technology (MUST) is fundamental university for engineering sciences in Mongolia. The development of country much depends on quality of engineers. The MUST has challenge to provide expectations of students and further engineers. To support faculty and students by well-developed modern teaching and learning environment the MUST implementing many new ideas in teaching of engineering sciences. Many schools of MUST are active works on the development of virtual laboratory and e-learning for classical teaching. By decision scientific commission of Power Engineering School in 2010 was accepted project to create and use virtual laboratories for traditional teaching and e-learning. In frame of this project was created six single models of different professionals. In this paper we described main standard of virtual laboratories and problems and solutions to create virtual laboratories.
