Demonstration of a remote lab based on a vibrating beam apparatus

Engineering courses can benefit of using remote labs to support teaching and online learning. Online experimentation represents also a very important support in engineering teaching and can be used to improve the students learning process, for example in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering courses, on several topics. A remote lab based on a vibrating bean apparatus could be an effective tool to be used in practical classes and to enhance the students' experimental skills. This paper describes the demonstration of an online experiment, supported by a remote lab system, to carry out some experiments using a vibrating beam. An experimental setup is used to interact with the remote lab through a Web platform, where students can perform different experiments, visualizing and obtaining data in real time from the remote system.
