Questions and Answers: Lessons Learned Building Teaching and Research Platforms

In this webinar we offer a glimpse into the educational philosophy and design pillars that Quanser has used to become an industry leader in innovative teaching and research solutions for modern engineering over the last 30+ years. We will use the new QArm manipulator system for intelligent robotics as a case study in the creation of physical systems, teaching and research resources, and virtual platforms. The techniques that are discussed offer a checklist for the creation of successful and lasting student learning experiences and research platforms.
