Abstract: This study proposes an approach to the development of laboratory research courses for industrial interfaces. The National Instruments Laboratory Complex and the iLab software by Massachusetts Institute of Technology are used as the material and technical base of the research which provide a platform to introduce students to the concept of virtual laboratories in general and to the use of industrial interfaces in particular. Using virtual and hybrid laboratories in the educational process will on the one hand enable the student to perform experiments with equipment and material, to gain practical skills in experiments conducting and to familiarize oneself in detail with a computer model of a unique object without the risk of costly equipment damage or bodily injury. On the other hand, the connection of existing laboratory equipment and devices via the Internet in a hybrid laboratory allows the laboratory activity to be moved to a new level, where multiple students might simultaneously conduct laboratory work remotely and have a more flexible schedule which would be hardly feasible in the traditional laboratory work.
