Economic energy sources, access to clean water and improved urban infrastructure are some of the major challenges society faces today. Engineers will undoubtedly play a significant role in solving them. Academic and engineering professionals met this month in Singapore to discuss how to enhance engineering education to prepare a new generation of innovators capable of solving global challenges. Quanser not only participated in this discussion, we offered solutions. In his keynote talk at ASEE Global Colloquium, Paul Gilbert offered his perspective on how the academic community can nurture and develop highly intuitive engineers to meet the complex demands of the future.
Read this newsletter to learn about tools you can use to improve engineering education and find out:
- Why peripherals can make lab equipment more efficient and affordable,
- How real-time software significantly accelerates control design and implementation processes.
Quanser engineers and academic advisors are very passionate about improving engineering education. We can offer other ideas to help you achieve your teaching or research goals. In fact, our commitment to improving engineering education was recently acknowledged by the American Society for Engineering Education. Learn more.
