Maplesoft will welcome experts and users of Maple T.A. and Möbius to Vienna from October 19-21, 2016, for its annual user summit. Long-time customers and users will gather at the Vienna University of Technology for presentations on the latest news and features of Maple T.A., Maplesoft’s testing and assessment tool, and the recently introduced Möbius, Maplesoft’s platform for developing online science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) courseware.

Dr. Joaquin Carrasco, Professor of Control Systems at the University’s School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, has taught various Control Systems courses to Master’s students in the Master of Science in Advanced Control and Systems Engineering program for the past six years. He has received overwhelmingly positive student feedback from using Maple T.A., the powerful online testing and assessment system from Maplesoft, in his Control Systems classes. He has also recently incorporated Maplesoft’s MapleSim and the MapleSim CAD Toolbox into his Robotics courses. With the MapleSim CAD Toolbox, students can see how their mechanical CAD models behave as part of a larger, multidomain system.

Maplesoft today released Möbius, a hands-on learning tool focused on science, technology, engineering and mathematics education. The online courseware environment provides an interactive platform for students to explore STEM concepts, visualize problems and solutions, and receive real-time assessment feedback.
