| Dear ,
Whether studying electrical, mechanical, process engineering or other engineering discipline, students need to understand controls theory. Most employers will agree. In this issue we focus on new tools that will save you time on research and help your students solidify control concepts.
Plus, visit University of Toronto and find out how leveraging Quanser's expertise in controls helped accelerate research and improve their labs. Enjoy your November eNEWS and stay in control!

 Teaching Tools for Your Classroom
Textbook with Virtual Experiments
|
 Control Systems Engineering by Norman S. Nise is the most widely adopted textbook for core control courses in mechanical, electrical and other engineering programs. The sixth edition to be released in the USA soon offers a dynamic new feature: the text is supported by 10 virtual experiments from Quanser. The experiments are powered by LabVIEW and allow students to manipulate the simulated lab plants and view realistic response behavior. The virtual experiments will help deepen students' homework learning experience and help them prepare for the actual lab work.

Teaching and Research Tools for Your Lab
Mechatronics in a Compact Kit |
 Engineering educators around the world understand how important it is to give students experience beyond their selected discipline. Using mechatronics principles, students get exposed to electrical, computer, mechanical and other engineering fields to better understand how they work together in complex systems. Our engineers have made it more convenient for you to bring these principles into your engineering lab. The improved Mechatronics Control Kit is more compact and portable - ideal for teaching and research in real-time control. |
Focused on QUARC
At the Heart of a Unique Subterranean Lab |
 Toronto Rehab, Canada's largest academic health sciences centre is home to one of the world's most advanced rehabilitation research facilities. Its centerpiece is a huge subterrean lab with a hydraulic motion simulator where researchers can simulate different conditions, such as an icy sidewalk, and study interactions between people and their environment. To control the simulator, integrate all instruments and ensure the safety of the whole system, Toronto Rehab uses Quanser's advanced real-time control software QUARC - the same software that powers Quanser's turn-key lab equipment used by educators worldwide.
Read how the unique research lab utilizes QUARC. |
| In Your Own Words |
 "QUARC is seamlessly integrated with MATLAB and Simulink, provides means for rapid model compilation and evaluation and allows for multirate simulation to name a few [features]. In a nutshell, QUARC is a low-cost, yet reliable and powerful control system solution, suitable for our everyday needs in controls and robotics."
Dr. Keyvan Hashtrudi-Zaad, Queen's University, Canada
