  1. Preparing Effective Global Engineers

  2. Transition to Edu ENABLE EDUCATORS

  3. Enable EducatorsMulti-disciplinary Labs • “Pool several engineering departments’ resources. You get more out of your lab activity with reduced amount of overhead to building, running and maintaining a lab.” • - Dr. Andrew Alleyne, Associate Dean of University of Illinois

  4. Engage ` RESEARCHERS

  5. Engage ResearchersMedical Robotics • Surgical Robotics Needle Insertion Endonasal Surgery Rehabilitation

  6. “…the 21st century will be known as the age of automatic control.” - Dr. Mark Spong, Dean of Engineering, University of Texas Empower INDUSTRY

  7. G8 Leaders • USA – Obama : LAW • UK – David Cameron : LAW • France Nicolas Sarkozy : LAW • Japan Naoto Kan : LAW • Italy Sylvio Berlusconi : LAW • Russia – DimitryMedvedev : LAW • Canada – Harper : ECONOMY • China – HuJintao : ENGINEER • Germany - Angela Merkel : PHYSICIST

  8. Political Will GOOD IDEA ……. ? Good idea poorly executed, hybrid car/hybrid car, solar powered vehicle

  9. “We know the countries that out-teach us today willout-compete us tomorrow.” • President Obama Educate. Innovate.

  10. STAKEHOLDERS - STUDENTS • Global engineers • Engineers who are well informed about problems in multiple contexts, • Can operate with engineers and situations different from those in their immediate surroundings • Can apply their individual, localized training to universally relevant issues. • These globally minded students can often feel out of place within scientifically strict and theoretically dense curricula. • Despite stereotypes, engineers who enjoy communication and networking, ethics and social issues do exist. • THAT’S ME …. I have found my home !!!!

  11. 4. Appeal Early to Future Generations Quanser’s Dr. Apkarian demonstrates Biomedical experiments to young students.

  12. TOP Engineering Contributions • Electricity • Automobile • Airplane • Water Supply and Distribution • Electronics • Radio & TV • Agricultural Mechanization • Computers • Telephone • Internet

  13. Encouraging and Developing Future Engineers Ask yourselves “What can I do to help”. • Increase demand … make Engineering FUN. • Make Engineering RELEVANT • Communicate what engineers DO • Go visit local community • GIVE THEM PERMISSION TO FAIL

  14. Responding to the Changing Global Context • WHAT problems now DRIVE engineering • ALL PERVASIVE TECHNOLOGY • TIGHTLY COUPLED • HIGHLY COMPLEX • SYSTEM LEVEL THINKING REQUIRED

  15. The World Today SYNERGISTIC GLOBAL COLLABORATION Customer Project Management Team Manufacturer Design Team

  16. Responding to the Changing Global Context • PLAY • FAIL • COLLABORATE

  17. Why Do I Care? • “Fostering leadership and global responsibility through creative engineering.” • Quanser Mission

  18. Quanser’s Commitment CAPTIVATE Enable Educators MOTIVATE Engage Researchers GRADUATE Empower Industry
