Most engineering programs aim to attract more students and prepare them for successful careers with leading international corporations. But what are most corporations looking for? One important attribute companies like Boeing, Northrop Grumman and Freescale are looking for in graduates is experience with real devices. For over 20 years educators have trusted Quanser's SRV02-based workstations to help students develop skills and knowledge through hands-on experiments.
Learn how interchangeable modules for the SRV02-based workstation enable building-block, hands-on learning and allow you to save time. Or read how modular lab equipment enabled Utah State University to expand their lab over time to attract more students.
Building on controls fundamentals mastered with SRV02-based labs, engineering schools are exposing students to innovation-inspiring systems, like the Unmanned Vehicle Lab.
Hands-on experience with real devices is also an effective way to captivate young minds at the K-12 level. Learn how Quanser's lab systems can have a positive impact on outreach programs too.Whether in the second grade or in second year, hands-on experiments based on real-life engineering problems can help mold the innovators of tomorrow. In this eNEWS we share a few examples.

 Teaching Tools
Modularity: Why You and Students Benefit |
At Quanser, we understand the challenge of balancing tight budgets with the need to create captivating, real-world controls experiments that cross disciplines and provide hands-on learning opportunities. Our SRV02-based workstation with 10 interchangeable modules allows you to do just that. Excite your students with a wide variety of experiments and help them learn controls with a building-block approach. In addition to modularity, Quanser supplies comprehensive curriculum that saves you time on lab preparation, so you can focus on what matters to you.

12 Things You Should Know about UVS |
 Quanser's unmanned technology got a lot of attention this summer. Delegates at the ASEE Annual Conference, ACC 2010 and AIAA Guidance, Navigation and Control Conference had an opportunity to experience the Unmanned Vehicle Systems Lab and fly Quanser's Qball-X4, an unmanned aerial vehicle. Students and professors asked our engineers many great questions about applications, sensors, cameras and batteries. We captured the technical questions and summarized answers for you.

Focused on Outreach
Inspiring Future Engineers |
 Let's Talk Science, a Canadian charitable organization focused on science learning programs recently surveyed children and youth. Of these youngsters, 95 per cent said a visit from a real scientist helped them understand the science topic better. That's why Quanser's engineers happily volunteer for Let's Talk Science and other school programs that help introduce engineering careers to elementary and high school students. It is easy to see that inspiration stems naturally from the exciting hands-on experiments we bring along. Contact our Academic Solutions Advisors if you require systems for your outreach activities.
