Dear ,
The more successful engineering educators are at making dry, abstract concepts vividly come to life, the more motivated and successful their students will be. Realistic representations of engineering problems and solutions help students learn deeply, stick with their courses, pursue graduate work or graduate. Little wonder then that Quanser is dedicated to offering innovative Hardware-in-the-Loop platforms and curriculum to educators and researchers at every level. Want some concrete examples? Read on!
View a video of Quanser's Chief Education Officer, Dr. Tom Lee, discussing the value of introducing HIL techniques early.
Find out how a "race track" and HIL merge to accelerate student learning.
Learn how to motivate students with Hardware-in-the-Loop experiments using new add-ons for NI LabVIEW™ and NI CompactRIO™.
Read how Dr. Manfredi Maggiore significantly advanced a research project with a 3 DOF Gyroscope in the loop.
Whether it's undergraduate education or graduate level research, HIL techniques leads to solutions efficiently and effectively. Have your students been exposed to Hardware-in-the-Loop techniques? Tell us about them. Videos are welcome.
Sincerely,

 Why HIL Motivates Undergrad Students |
Should engineering education be this much fun? If it successfully engages students, and if it turns dry concepts into realistic scenarios that make learning a treat, the answer is definitely Yes! The Quanser Driving Simulator turned out to be a star attraction at the recent ASEE 2012 Conference in San Antonio. It drew constant attention and trial at the Quanser Innovation Hub. If you weren't there, see what you missed.

LabVIEW-based Labs To Motivate Students with HIL Experiments
|
If you're looking for ways to improve and optimize the time you spend on teaching controls to undergraduate engineering students, you may be interested in the joint controls offering Quanser and National Instruments are introducing soon. This joint offering in controls allows you to expose students to rapid control prototyping with Hardware-in-the-Loop experiments quickly and easily with new software and hardware add-ons. To get a "sneak peek" at new add-ons for NI LabVIEW and NI CompactRIO, click here, or join us for an interactive demonstration at NIWEEK in Austin, Texas, August 6 - 9.
