Abstract This paper presents an idea of web-based but still hands-on laboratories for
teaching software engineering principles, as implemented in courses on development
of embedded and cyberphysical systems in the Software Engineering Program at Florida Gulf Coast University. Since the concept of the labs is pretty straightforward and
its technological principles have been outlined in previous publications, the talk touches upon technology and related pedagogical issues only briefly. Instead, attention is
paid to the motivation for such labs and, even more so, to the significance and consequences of using new technology, in general, and applying it in education, in particular. Issues related to the concepts of Lewis Mumford’s megamachine, Marshall
McLuhan’s medium as a message, and Clayton Christensen’s disruptive technology
are discussed in relation to the remote labs. Lab’s pervasive and ubiquitous nature
leads to the game changing concept of a lab-by-wire.
Keywords: embedded systems, cyberphysical systems, web-based labs, online labs,
remote labs.
