A sustainable approach to let students do more real experiments with electrical and electronic circuits

• The present paper focus on the use of remote laboratories in higher education from a sustainability viewpoint. The particular case of engineering education, and, within it, the more specific subject of experiments with electrical and electronic circuits is presented first, to then discuss the benefits of using remote labs, while considering the three dimensions of sustainable development, i.e.: economic practice, environmental protection, and social integration. The paper debates how remote labs address each dimension. © 2018 Copyright is held by the owner/author(s). Publication rights licensed to ACM.
