Automated Internet Measurement Laboratory (AIM-Lab) for Engineering Education

We report on the development of AIM-Lab, a remote measurement laboratory for characterization of electronic devices over the Internet. Specifically, we apply the AIM-Lab concept in a senior/graduate course on semiconductor devices and circuits, which comes with a laboratory module that includes up to 9 experiments performed on CMOS chips and a diode. AIM-Lab has been successfully used in the distance learning programs at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
