Dear ,
One of the surest ways to get through to your undergraduates is to shake things up a little. That's been the experience of many professors who are using Quanser Shake Tables in their labs to help students grasp structural engineering concepts quicker by seeing them come to life.
In this issue, we look at several tools that help professors to teach difficult concepts of control and students to understand them:
If you're using Quanser solutions to shake things up, tell us about it. Videos are welcome.
Sincerely,

 LabVIEW Courseware Your Students Will Enjoy
|
Thanks to Quanser's recently released LabVIEW-based courseware, professors and students can possess study materials, exercises and more for over 30 hands-on control experiments. These include virtually all of Quanser's rotary and linear experiments, as well as some more advanced mechatronic, aerospace and process control systems. The benefits this courseware offers teaching professors and students are significant.

Six Ways To Enhance Teaching Controls
|
Professors always look for ways to enhance teaching controls. Those using QNET Trainers for NI ELVIS will find several ways to do that. The new version of QNET Resources - the complete set of documentation, courseware and software VIs that comes with each QNET trainer - assembles six new features that will improve the usability and efficacy of the software, documentation and courseware for teaching undergraduate controls.

QUARC 2.3: How Real-Time Control Has Evolved
| |
Quanser's QUARC rapid control prototyping software was specifically designed to extend Simulink's capabilities. It does so by allowing engineers to run Simulink models seamlessly in real-time on real hardware. Naturally QUARC 2.3, the new version of QUARC that will be released shortly, will feature full compatibility with the new MATLAB/Simulink R2012a and R2012b. Researchers, teaching professors and students will benefit accordingly.
