Abstract
This paper describes the application of Design State Exploration techniques in the development of a remote lab for projectile motion experiments. The application was enabled by the existence of two independent teams: one composed of a series of internships that started first and another with two grantees that started a few months later. The paper presents evidence on how this approach provided gains in the development process conducted by the second team that benefited from design state exploration studies performed by the first team. This particular aspect is highlighted in relation to the work already presented in the 10th Remote Engineering and Virtual Instrumentation (REV) conference.
Highlights
Distance education has been in use for several years at the Polytechnic of Porto – School of Engineering (ISEP), but the application of remote laboratories in physics was being used exclusively in the electric and electronic fields
This paper discusses the development of a similar apparatus, for remote experiments, by two independent teams: one comprising a series of four internships that started in September 2010 and another team comprising two grantees that started the development in April 2011, i.e. circa 8 months after the 1st team
The remote apparatus developed by the 2nd team is ready for the validation phase, where a number of user trials will be undertaken
Summary
Distance education has been in use for several years at the Polytechnic of Porto – School of Engineering (ISEP), but the application of remote laboratories in physics was being used exclusively in the electric and electronic fields. These apparatuses are exhibited at ISEP’s science & technology museum [4] and allow one to observe how physics is a foundation of any curricula offered at engineering schools. This paper discusses the development of a similar apparatus, for remote experiments, by two independent teams: one comprising a series of four internships that started in September 2010 and another team comprising two grantees that started the development in April 2011, i.e. circa 8 months after the 1st team This time gap led the project coordinators to think of the 1st team as a good opportunity to apply Design State Exploration (DSE) techniques [5] in order to extract results leading to better de-. The rest of this paper is structured as follows: section II briefly reviews aspects related to the development of remote laboratories; section III focus on the specification phase of the developed apparatus; section IV describes the design phase; section V provides a comparative analysis of the work done by each team; and, section VI concludes the paper
