VIRTUAL LABORATORY - A FUTURE PART OF THE NEW WEB-BASED MODEL OF UNDERGRADUATE ENGINEERING STUDIES DEVELOPED BY WARSAW UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY

Bogdan A. Galwas, Remigiusz J. Rak
Abstract:
The article gives a review of reasons for developing and adopting a new web-based model of studies by Warsaw University of Technology. That is followed by a description of the Internet and multimedia - based educational model, known as SPrINT. The article presents also a structure of the four-year engineering studies offered by Electrical Engineering Faculty, Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology and Faculty of Mechatronics for given specialization. Then follows a description of the structure and tools of the electronic books. One of the subjects common for all students of the three Faculties is Virtual Laboratory. Virtual Instruments, as well as networked and distributed measurement systems, are the natural tools, which can be used in a modern didactic process for creating virtual laboratories.
