The engineering course experiment is the key point of distance engineering education. This paper introduces the research and implementation of experiment environment in ECUST (East China University of Science and Technology). As a typical case of remote control laboratory, a two- water-tanks experimental system using programmable automation controller (PAC) was introduced. A virtual experiment based on interactive flash of physical chemistry was briefly introduced. The statistical data of the experiment courses and the feedback from the students were analyzed. It shows that there are some details that should be improved.
