“…The idea is to carry out laboratory experiment via the Internet, anytime and anywhere. The students can also have an immediate feedback, allowing them to work in their own space, providing the opportunity to practice when and where they please [8]- [10]. Following the concerns and the choice of the technologies to be used in the development of remote laboratories in the specific areas of Automation and Control education, it is necessary to be aware of some characteristics (technological and/or of pedagogical requirements) [11].…”

This paper presents a study carried out in order to evaluate the students' perception in the development and use of remote Control and Automation education kits developed by two Universities. Three projects, based on real world environments, were implemented, being local and remotely operated. Students implemented the kits using the theoretical and practical knowledge, being the teachers a catalyst in the learning process. When kits were operational, end-user students got acquainted to the kits in the course curricula units. It is the author's believe that successful results were achieved not only in the learning progress on the Automation and Control fields (hard skills) but also on the development of the students soft skills, leading to encouraging and rewarding goals, motivating their future decisions and promoting synergies in their work. The design of learning experimental kits by students, under teacher supervision, for future use in course curricula by enduser students is an advantageous and rewarding experience.
