疫情期间向远程学习的转变促使新的实践实验方法得以发展。这一转变面临的重大挑战是为学生提供可靠且可持续的必要硬件组件访问途径，尤其是对需要大量设备的课程。此外，行业伙伴对学生熟练掌握仿真和验证工具期望很高。为应对这些挑战，我们实施了虚拟面包板功能，让学生能远程访问现场可编程门阵列（FPGA）硬件并完成实验任务。我们通过对学生和行业伙伴的调查评估该方法，发现它有效将传统线下实验任务转变为线上形式。本文还呈现了行业专业人士对验证和仿真工具作为行业高度期望技能的看法，远程实验室倾向于强调这一技能，使其成为即使疫情后仍可继续使用的可行教育解决方案。
英文摘要
The transition to remote learning during the pandemic has necessitated the development of new methods for conducting hands-on experiments. One significant challenge in this transition has been providing students with reliable and sustainable access to necessary hardware components, particularly for courses that require substantial equipment. Additionally, industry partners have high expectations for students to be proficient in simulation and verification tools. To address these challenges, we implemented a virtual breadboard feature that allows students to remotely access Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) hardware and complete lab assignments. Our evaluation of this approach, which included surveys of students and industry partners, revealed that it effectively transformed a traditionally in-person lab assignment into an online modality. Furthermore, this paper presents the perspective of industry professionals on verification and simulation tools as a highly desirable skill in the industry, a skill that remote labs tend to emphasize which makes remote labs a viable educational solution that can continue to be utilized even after the pandemic.
