Enhancing Engineering Education

Dr. Dennis Hong

Roboticist and Associate Professor, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, College of Engineering

"I often ask my students, ‘how many times in your life do you have the opportunity to change the world’ With NI tools, we continue to work with our students to inspire them to develop new and exciting applications that may one day change the world."

Empowering Engineers

Dr. Mike Rendall

Diverse Energy Ltd

"The LabVIEW graphical programming environment helps with rapid development and deployment. If we had tried to build our PowerCube energy system using a text-based language, we wouldn’t be anywhere near where we are now in the development cycle, and as a result, several regions in Africa would still rely on expensive, nonrenewable sources of energy for mobile phone coverage."
