Dear ,
The more flexible your lab is, the more teaching experiments you can present to your students. What's more, when your teaching solutions consist of multi-dimensional plants and workstations, you can easily transform it into a research lab. In this issue we discuss the wide-ranging capabilities of popular control plants and show you how their inherent flexibility can benefit your research and your students:
Do you have your own stories about how your teaching lab can expand to handle advanced research? Tell us about them. Videos are welcome.
Sincerely,

 What Makes Our Linear Experiments So Popular With Teachers?
|
Over the years Quanser's linear motion experiments, modules and workstations have been the first choice for many professors teaching controls. Their popularity is due to a number of reasons. One key factor is the number of linear experiments available. Professors can choose from over 14 experiments to help them teach fundamental control concepts including modeling, position and speed control. Paired with pedagogical courseware, this offers educators a lot of flexibility.

How Linear System Flexibility Helped
Advance Time Delay Systems Research
|
For more than 10 years, Dr. Olgac from the University of Connecticut has focused his research on time delayed systems and specifically on a unique paradigm called the Cluster Treatment of Characteristic Roots (CTCR). Using key mathematical features of Linear Time Invariant Time Delayed Systems (LTI-TDS), first recognized under a CTCR paradigm, Dr. Olgac and his team can now identify stability islands of multiple-delayed structures in the time-delay domain.

| In Your Own Words |
 "Our instructors can do more than one experiment with the same Quanser device, thanks to their inherent flexibility. So the variety of experiments we teach has increased. Also, your plants are suitable for advanced users doing research."
Professor Galip Cansever,
Department of Electrical Engineering,
Yildiz University, Turkey
