Learning Engineering and Online Laboratories at LACCEI 2025
The LACCEI Committee in Learning Engineering and Online Laboratories has the purpose of generating international collaboration among researchers from LACCEI member institutions, as well as promoting research and generation of proposals for grant
Hybrid Panel:
Trends and Experiences in Online Laboratories, Standards, Security Concerns and the Role of Emerging Technologies in the Development of Learning Engineering Processes
- To create spaces of collaboration in the online laboratories area with LACCEI and IEEE communities.
- To disseminate the current state of the development of online laboratories and the efforts of standardization.
- To set the ground base for the study group being created for the next cycle of update of the 1876-2019 - IEEE Standard for Networked Smart Learning Objects for Online Laboratories

Biography:
Luis Felipe Zapata-Rivera earned the Ph.D. degree in computer engineering from Florida Atlantic University and the M.S degree in engineering from the Eafit University and the bachelor’s degree in systems engineering from the same institution in Medellin-Colombia. He currently works as an Assistant Professor at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, Prescott, AZ, USA. He worked as a Research Assistant at LACCEI and he is the Vice-Chair of the P1876–Networked Smart Learning Objects for Online Laboratories standard working group of IEEE. In the past, he worked as a Researcher Assistant at Eafit University. His research areas include online laboratories, online assessment systems and IoT systems. He has developed software systems for the automatic assessment (computer-based assessments), platforms for the management of online laboratories.

Biography:
Professor Saliah-Hassane earned a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from McGill University in Montreal, a Bachelor and Master of Applied Science degree from École Polytechnique de Montréal, Canada. He is currently teaching Informatics and Computer Networks and Security at TELUQ University in Montreal where he is carrying research on Intelligent Distributed Systems and Mobile Robotics.
Professor Saliah-Hassane has received many awards in recognition of his accomplishments, including many IEEE Education Society Certificates of Appreciation, IEEE Education Society’s EdWin C. Jones, Jr. Meritorious Service Award (2019). And aligned with his work on Distributed Embedded Systems, the IEEE Standards Association award with appreciation for chairing and contributing to the development of IEEE Standard 1876™ - 2019 on “Networked Smart Learning Objects for Online Laboratories” (2019), the IEEE SA 2019 Emerging Technology Awarded to IEEE SA 1876™ - 2019 Working Group. Under the Candidate leadership as the Chair of Montreal IEEE Education Society Chapter (2005 -2022), the Chapter received the “2019 Chapter Achievement Award for sustained contributions of innovative educational and professional activities in the community”.
Agenda
in engineering education?
2. How can standardization efforts support the scalability and sustainability of remote
laboratories?
3. What are the key security and data privacy concerns associated with remote labs, and how
can institutions mitigate these risks?
4. In what ways are emerging technologies—such as AI, IoT—transforming the landscape of
online laboratories and learning engineering?
5. Can you share examples of successful international collaborations or funded projects
involving online laboratories? What lessons did you acquire from them?
6. How can remote laboratories be made more inclusive and accessible to under-resourced
institutions or students in developing regions?
7. What role does Learning Engineering play in designing, deploying, and assessing the
effectiveness of online laboratories?
8. What are the most urgent research gaps in the field of online laboratories, and how can we
foster collaborative proposals to address them?
laboratorios en línea en la educación en ingeniería?
2. ¿Cómo pueden los esfuerzos de estandarización apoyar la escalabilidad y sostenibilidad de
los laboratorios remotos?
3. ¿Cuáles son las principales preocupaciones en torno a la seguridad y la privacidad de los
datos asociadas con los laboratorios remotos, y cómo pueden las instituciones mitigar estos
riesgos?
4. ¿De qué manera las tecnologías emergentes —como la inteligencia artificial y el Internet de
las cosas (IoT)— están transformando el panorama de los laboratorios en línea y el
aprendizaje en ingeniería?
5. ¿Puede compartir ejemplos de colaboraciones internacionales exitosas o proyectos
financiados que involucren laboratorios en línea? ¿Qué lecciones aprendieron de ellos?
6. ¿Cómo se pueden hacer los laboratorios remotos más inclusivos y accesibles para
instituciones con pocos recursos o estudiantes en regiones en desarrollo?
7. ¿Qué papel desempeña el “Learning Engineering” en el diseño, implementación y
evaluación de la efectividad de los laboratorios en línea?
8. ¿Cuáles son las brechas de investigación más urgentes en el campo de los laboratorios en
línea, y cómo podemos fomentar propuestas colaborativas para abordarlas?
