Have you ever wanted to look in from your office or remote location to check on the progress of your lab students or an experiment you are running? Or what about sharing experiment data from this morning’s lab with rural student miles away with no lab access? With MeasureNet’s new Remote Monitor software, you can— whether you’re down the hall or across the country.
Designed with STEM partnerships and outreach activities in mind, Remote Monitor gives institutions without MeasureNet a chance to participate through the graphical viewing of acquired data files and the analysis of collected data via most any statistical or spreadsheet software. It also allows lab directors, instructors, and teaching assistants to monitor their MeasureNet networks from different physical locations.
Any station on any network can be monitored live or its saved files can be downloaded to any PC running Remote Monitor. Network chat boxes make it easy for teaching assistants to communicate with each other or with the lab manager. Remote Monitor also enables MeasureNet’s Cincinnati offices to quickly troubleshoot a network anywhere in the world as long as it is connected to the Internet. With appropriate IDs and passwords, a collaborating institution can have access to partner real-time lab experiments or saved data for research or outreach activities. Remote Monitor installs on any Windows-based PC connected to the Internet and doesn't require additional software or MeasureNet hardware.

On Sept. 26 the U.S. Department of Education announced that 97 Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) are the recipients of awards given through the Hispanic-Serving Institutions Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, and Articulation Programs (HSI STEM and Articulation Programs). The program had about $100 million for 109 grants that will support the development of articulation between two and four year institutions or enhance science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) programs at HSIs. The grant funds may be used for:
- scientific or laboratory equipment for teaching
- the construction or renovation of facilities
- purchasing educational materials
- academic tutoring or counseling programs
- teacher education
- student support services.
