Dear ,
At Quanser, we believe in enhancing your teaching and research capabilities by harnessing the power of collaboration - collaborating internally through teamwork, externally through strategic partnerships and around the world through dialogue with educators.
Collaboration, coupled with highly-motivating, hands-on learning, is the proven strategy to enhance the core educational experience of today's globally-minded engineering students. We hope you'll agree that the stories in this month's eNEWS reflect that.

More Ways to Engage Undergraduate Students
|
In control design, there is a push for more hardware-oriented exploration of theory and the need to take theory all the way to deployment on real-world hardware. To help engineering educators deliver hands-on learning experiences for fundamentals of control systems and mechatronics, Quanser and National Instruments partnered to develop QNET experiments for the NI ELVIS platform. Since 2008, educators around the globe have been using the QNET experiments to engage young undergraduate students. The cooperation between National Instruments and Quanser does not stop there. Stay tuned for upcoming news about new tools Quanser and NI are creating to improve student engagement.
Watch this webcast to see QNET experiments in action.

Collaboration in India Draws International Interest
|
The Quanser Center of Excellence at the College of Engineering Pune, India opened its door only few months ago, but it is already getting international attention and proves its role as a regional hub of engineering innovation and collaboration. In January 2012, the Quanser Center of Excellence in India became an important stop for political and business delegates of India Mission 2012. The mission was led by the Mayor of Markham - one of Canada's leading high-tech zones.

| In Your Own Words |
"We have been using Quanser's feedback control experimental testbeds as well as the DAQ systems for over a dozen years. Our students really like to work with these experimental testbeds because it makes the abstract concepts come alive for them in a hands-on manner."
Dr. Vikram Kapila, NYU-Poly, USA

Feature Story:
One Control Lab Serves Many Needs
|
Dr. Yongpeng Zhang of Prairie View A & M needed a modern, flexible lab for both teaching and research. Modular workstations driven by LabVIEW™ gave him the lab his students needed.

Teach Control with the Help of Virtual Experiments
|
Control Systems Engineering by Norman S. Nise is the most widely adopted textbook for core control courses. The sixth edition offers a dynamic new feature: the text is supported by 10 virtual experiments from Quanser, which are powered by LabVIEW.
