Hands-on experience gained in a laboratory is an invaluable part of the learning activity in undergraduate education. However, delivery of the laboratory experience in a distance education setting is a challenging problem. Our manufacturing engineering curriculum contains a required control systems course with weekly labs. This paper presents an electronic laboratory book called e-LabBook developed to deliver the "hands-on" lab experience with real equipment over the Internet. Design and implementation details of the e-LabBook are explained. Results from a recent course offering with the e-LabBook indicate that it can be a viable option in providing "hands-on" lab experience.
