A few weeks ago, the engineering team at Quanser grew yet again. Our new colleague, Thomas, is fresh from school, and his path to Quanser is quite interesting. So we sat together recently to talk about how he got here,...
I first encountered the concept of remote labs, or remotely accessible laboratory hardware, twelve years ago. Since then, the state of the art in telepresence and communications systems has progressed in leaps and bounds, but, somehow, remotely accessible engineering labs...
Welcome back to the second post in this blog series, covering the development of our Quanser Self-Driving Car Research Studio. My first post looked at the hardware aspects of QCar, the feature vehicle of the studio. Today, I would like...
Before I begin, let me start by saying that if your institution is doing project-based learning (or PBL, as we call it in the 'biz'), then you are already ahead of the pack. Most engineering education is still stuck in...
Modernizing engineering education is hard. A big part of the problem is that engineering is a combination of the exciting and sexy world of self-driving cars and landing rockets, and the reality of years of mathematics and intensive software engineering...
