Dear Reader
June is very special not just because Canada's long-awaited summer starts, but also because Quanser launched five new mechatronic controls plants. And we got the chance to meet with many of you at two major conferences in the USA - American Control Conference 2009 and American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Annual Conference and Exposition. We learned firsthand about innovative research and advances in
teaching from professors, deans and industry leaders including National Instruments, The Mathworks and Maplesoft. In this issue we will share some
highlights with almost 20,000 of our eNewsletter subscribers from around the
globe.
June was also special for educators. Many of your friends and colleagues were recognized by ASEE for their lifelong contribution to the improvement of engineering education. Congratulations to the winners of ASEE's National and Society Awards from all of us at Quanser!
Sincerely, Zuzana Fabusova, eNEWS Editor

Engineering Education Skills & Tools for Success
|
What skills do engineers need to succeed? To help clarify, The
Mathworks and Quanser gathered a panel of academic leaders from
University of Dallas, Rice University and University of New Mexico
along with industry experts from Boeing, Freescale, Quanser and
Northrop Grumman at the ASEE. Stay tuned for a full report from the panel discussion. Be the first to get it - request your free copy today!To teach the skills you need tools. Do you have the right tools in place to enable engineering students to innovate in the 21st century? A great question raised by Tom Lee of Maplesoft at the Go Global Pavilion at ASEE 2009. Get the highlights from this talk on our blog. |
More Highlights from ASEE 2009 Engineering Labs of the Future
|
Many educators attending 2009 ASEE Annual Conference in Austin were looking for fresh ideas on how to build and run their labs and keep them up-to-date without spending too much. Quanser and National Instruments offered great advice - learn more aout future engineering laboratories on our blog. Some more great ideas to help universities save funds, real-estate and time on engineering labs were presented by our Academic Solutions Advisor, Sunny Ray.

New Mechatronic Controls Collection Ultimate Driving Sensation
|
In this issue we focus on Hexapod, a 6 DOF motion platform from the new Mechatronic Controls Collection. What applications does Hexapod have? Unlimited - just let your imagination wander. One example is a driving simulator with visual feedback from a virtual environment. In this video, our "passenger" can feel realistic bumps on the road - otherwise known as vertical vibrations and centrifugal forces.
Let our academic consultants demonstrate the power of the Hexapod for you. Sign up for a free online webinar.
