Test of the controlled circuit at UTC via the internet
• Transfer of the controller tuning to the Plant at UTC
• Test of the control circuit behaviour
• Data transfer of the results for the controlled cicuit to FHK

Results
• Students were fascinated by the opportunities of this type of education
• they showed up very motivated
• most of them repeated some of the experiments for the evaluation of the test results
• way of cooperation will be extended

Conclusions• The internet provides new and challenging
ways for international cooperation in engineering education where distances do not play any role.
• Common resources can be used for the benefit of students in countries around the world.
• The authors estimate this as an excellent way of meeting the demands of a growing globalization in the fields of engineering education.
