Why Should I Learn LabVIEW?

Enhance Your Lectures

You can use LabVIEW simulations in the classroom as a teaching tool to help students learn and visualize concepts. For example, after deriving the equations for convolution, you can interactively show them two signals being convolved in LabVIEW. In addition, using LabVIEW remote panels, any LabVIEW program can run remotely with a standard Web browser. Now, you can easily bring the laboratory to the classroom. Visit our Distance Learning pages for more information about LabVIEW remote panels.

"LabVIEW is a programming language, equivalent to C++, Visual Basic, or any other language. It is the ONLY widely accepted graphical programming language. Graphical programming is a language of the future and carries with it many important programming concepts. I feel it is the responsibility of universities (such as Penn State) to expose, at least, every computer science and engineering student to these new concepts."
