Tsinghua University consistently ranks as one of the top engineering schools in the world. But like many educational institutions, Tsinghua faced some challenges motivating students. They knew more than traditional theory-heavy approaches to teaching were needed. Guided by the example...
So a few weeks after placing your order, your team received the shipment from Quanser with all the building blocks for your brand-new Autonomous Vehicles Research Studio. You are ready to fly your QDrones, but with all those boxes with...
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...
