Structural Dynamics & Earthquake Engineering

Ideal platforms to re-create seismic activities

A variety of shake tables and smart structure systems – complete with powerful and flexible software – to satisfy your teaching and research needs.

Signals from complete physical systems

Quanser’s testing and measurement labs let you teach the fundamentals of sensors, signal conditioning, and computer-based data acquisition in multiple domains.

Measurement and instrumentation is a fundamental topic in engineering. Without accurate and reliable measurement quantities such as temperature, strain, pressure, and position we will not be able to reliably monitor and control processes. Having an in-depth understanding of the concepts allows engineers to design, implement, and maintain complex engineering systems. Quanser’s measurement and instrumentation solutions allow you to teach the fundamentals of sensors, signal conditioning, and computer-based data acquisition.

Mechanical engineering is one of the oldest and broadest of the engineering disciplines. Students require a broad range of skills and knowledge to be successful in their careers. This engineering discipline combines engineering physics and mathematics principles with materials science to design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems. Learning solutions offered by Quanser provide the tools necessary to teach the skills needed for mechanical engineering.

Electrical and Computer Engineering Lab Solutions

Go beyond the breadboard

Electrical and Computer Engineering courses present specific challenges in the lab. Traditional ECE labs center around wiring circuits and taking measurements, however, the tools involved often interfere with, rather than enhance, the learning experience. With Quanser ECE lab solutions, you can give your students hands-on experience with ECE concepts that far exceed the limitations of breadboards and banana cables. Quanser's line of Electrical Engineering lab solutions focus on integrated instrumentation and flexible onboard circuitry to give students in-depth control via safe, robust, easy-to-use tools.

Elavate your program to new heights

Quanser offers a unique line of engineering lab solutions designed explicitly to introduce both undergraduate and graduate students to the core dynamic, control, and mechatronic challenges of modern flight systems.

Essential Dynamics and Control Concepts

The Quanser Aero is a unique platform that allows students to explore and gain insight into the dynamic complexities of flight applications. At its core, the Aero is a high-precision, plug and play physical system plant to study helicopter flight motion and its control. Applications include 1 DOF attitude control, conventional 2 DOF helicopter flight, and even quadcopter dynamics and control. Reconfigurable elements let you quickly adapt the Aero to modern applications in mechatronic system design.

As a provider of engineering controls education, you may face several challenges. They could include attracting the best students, ensuring students graduate with industry-ready skills, meeting the curriculum’s goals while still finding enough time for research, and last but not least, sourcing reliable lab equipment and educational tools while staying within budget.

Your program will soar to new heights.
