Purpose: The purpose of this article is to describe the building methodology of virtual laboratory posts placed in Material Science Virtual Laboratory. Presented laboratory is an open scientific, investigative, simulating and didactic medium helpful in the realization of the didactic and educational tasks from the field of material engineering in Institute of Engineering Materials and Biomaterials of the Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice, Poland. Design/methodology/approach: The use possibilities of the virtual laboratory posts are practically unrestricted. The laboratory can be a base for any studies, course or training programs performed by traditional and e-learning methods. Findings: Possession of the equipment, that is practically imperishable, cheap in exploitation and safe in usage will certainty encourage students and scientific workers to independent audits and experiments in situations, where the possibilities of their execution in the true investigative laboratory are restricted. Research limitations/implications: The student during the work with the simulations will learn the functioning principle as well as the investigations and experiments guidance methodology of the simulated real device. Practical implications: As the implementation example of the laboratory for the didactic and educational tasks the virtual simulations of investigative equipment are presented. Originality/value: The presented project corresponds with the global tendency for expand the investigative and academic centres about the possibilities of training and experiments performance with use of the virtual reality.
