- The ANNA tool developed in the scope of the project "Increasing Gender Diversity in STEM" is an online tool that allows high school students to match their own personality, views, and expectations to those of engineering students and professional engineers. Not only does it provide easy access to role models, but it also increases awareness of what it means to be an engineer and picks up on some stereotypes associated with studying technology at the university. This EU funded Erasmus+ project helped the partners to study the gender difference in self-perception about the engineering degree. In the meantime, the data collection gives the opportunity to take a look at how students perceive their university and their degree.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Sustainability is currently a general concern in society and in particular in the use of laboratories for educational purposes. Although laboratories are unavoidable facilities for education, they often produce waste resulting from students' experiments. To contribute for sustainable solutions in education, the use of remote laboratories instead of the traditional hands-on laboratories should be considered in every engineering course. It is precisely this aspect that is discussed in the current paper. Some comments about the importance of sustainability in education are made. Later, it is described the use of a remote laboratory named VISIR in a course held at the Polytechnic of Porto - School of Engineering, for the conduction of an electronic experiment named Schmitt Trigger. At the end, some comments about the contribution of this remote lab for sustainability in education, are provided. © 2019 ACM.
