Resumen
La sostenibilidad es actualmente una preocupación generalizada en la sociedad y en particular en el uso de laboratorios con fines educativos. Aunque los laboratorios son instalaciones inevitables para la educación, a menudo producen desechos como resultado de los experimentos de los estudiantes. Para contribuir a soluciones sostenibles en la educación, el uso de laboratorios remotos en lugar de los tradicionales laboratorios prácticos debe considerarse en todos los cursos de ingeniería. Es precisamente este aspecto el que se discute en el presente documento. Se hacen algunos comentarios sobre la importancia de la sostenibilidad en la educación. Posteriormente, se describe el uso de un laboratorio remoto llamado VISIR en un curso realizado en la Escuela Politécnica de Porto - Escuela de Ingeniería, para la conducción de un experimento electrónico llamado Schmitt Trigger.
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.
