Abstract

AbstractExposure to laboratory experiences is valuable for students in all engineering disciplines. Because of spatial constraints or physical limitations, not all engineering students can obtain hands-on involvement with relevant experimental apparatus and laboratory procedures in their curriculum. However, all engineering students should have familiarity with conducting experiments, and collecting and analyzing experimental data. An Internet-enabled experimental apparatus that demonstrates contaminant adsorption to activated carbon was developed. The hardware and software permitted remote students to operate the apparatus by distance through the Internet. Using the Internet, the students were able to collect data for further analysis. The experiment was implemented in an introduction to civil engineering course, primarily consisting of first and second-year civil engineering students with broad civil engineering interests (e.g., structural, geomechanics, environmental). Through appropriate assessments, ...
