study published in the journal Science Education showed that high-school seniors whoexpress an interest in pursuing science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) are threetimes more likely to complete college degrees in those subjects. The key to getting students tothat tipping point, says lead author Adam Maltese, an assistant professor of science education atIndiana University, seems to be exposing them early to a STEM experience that sparks theirinterest, then providing them with a way to maintain it.”Students are enthusiastic about cool projects. Engineering educators may take advantage of thestudents’ enthusiasm: use it as a driving force for deeper learning. Thus, students are led from theobvious to the essential: from the observation

Therefore, it naturally follows that transitioning the wholeof education towards a system which is more frequently used by digital natives may be in thebest interest of future generations. The purpose of this study is to create a case for implementingremote, on-line laboratory experiences that can successfully fill the same intellectual need astheir physical counterparts. The benefit of achieving this goal is similar to that of all on-lineinstruction, to reach more students and to make education accessible.
