Dear Reader
Welcome to Quanser's September issue of eNEWS. We aim to keep
Deans, Department Heads, Professors, Partners and Distributors updated
on the latest academic initiatives in engineering.
As we start a new school
year, curriculum, research tools and funding are top of mind for many
engineering professors. Quanser can help you with all that.
In this issue, learn how you can save time and enhance your engineering program
for undergraduate or graduate students. Choose from 70 hands-on solutions for engineering labs to ensure your students are prepared for the
challenges of the real world. We also share some insights about funding and show you yet another out-of-this-world solution from our engineers!

Make Your Control Lab More Exciting!
|
 A WiiMote Challenge? Doesn't sound like something you would expect at a conference! That's what seemed to captivate most delegates at UK ACC Control 2008, held this September in Manchester, UK. Trying to swing up an inverted pendulum using WiiMote was a challenge for the professors, demonstrating how easily Quanser's educational tools can captivate engineering students. Check out the prize winner and see how you can add more excitement to your teaching and research lab! |
Teaching Gets Easier: Course Project in a Curriculum
|
 Almost all 70 challenges Quanser offers come with the curriculum to save you time. Now you can save even more time getting ready for your course - the newly released Omni Bundle for teaching robotics and haptics at undergraduate and graduate levels has it all! The Course project included in the curriculum captivates and motivates your students with a game - not playing it, but developing it. Through creating a 1D or 2D Haptic game, students reinforce what they learned in your course. Watch a short video to see the Omni in action!

 Considering applying for funding to build or expand your control lab? There are three things you should know! Watch for the October issue of eNEWS to learn how the Prairie View A&M University, Texas built a state-of-the-art teaching and research laboratory with the help of U.S. Department of Defense ( DoD) funding.

| In Your Own Words |

"...it was so easy to build a new experiment just by adding a new module to an existing setup. I was impressed by the flexibility offered by Quanser."
