online education will become a more cost-effective way for students to receive an education,

How do you take a Lab over the internet?

If you are doing metallurgy, how do you heat treat a billet of steel or measure the tensile strength of an aluminum rod?

Probably at institutions that specialize in ‘hard’ knowledge as opposed to ‘puff’ curricula.

Labs are where the learning takes place

The anti college types here have no clue about education and especially about the hands on value of labs

(For those in Rio Linde, Labs are not Labrador retrievers)
