Editor's Note

Dear Reader

Happy New Year! Throughout 2009 we will continue to inform and inspire Deans, Department Heads, Professors, Partners and Distributors with news on engineering education worldwide.  Plus we will keep you updated on cutting-edge Mechatronics, Robotics and Control tools for teaching, research and industrial application.

This issue introduces a new High Definition Haptic Device HD^2 - check out the Teaching and Research Tools Section to learn more about it. Find out what else is coming up in 2009 in the New Developments Section!

One thing most students or researchers are short on is time. So we wanted the latest version of QuaRC�, Quanser's control development software to help you do more - faster.  Find out what new shortcuts will be available in the next release. Check the QuaRC Spotlight Section and imagine the possibilities!

We wish you a very successful and happy New Year and are looking forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
