Areas of Research
Presently, I am looking at extending the facilities in our department to provide a flexible laboratory environment which is accessible over the Internet. This project will look at developing existing laboratory facilities to provide remote access to students using W3C standardised web browsers. The Web Based laboratory environment (WBLE) programme utilises a problem based approach to teaching and learning, where we set projects that are centered on industrial processes. Experimental pilot scale equipment coupled with online simulations form the learning environment while the Internet technologies allow students access to experimental modules all over the world. Students will have access to a range of learning modules allowing them to enhance their understanding of the process and associated theory. These learning modules aim to;

  • (i) Promote a higher quality of student learning by challenging their curiosity.
  • (ii) Introduce students to research by demonstrating state of the art technology in education.
  • (iii) Promote communication and interaction between students.
