Why Should I Teach LabVIEW?

LabVIEW is an easy-to-use, interactive, graphical programming language that is ideal for engineers and scientists. It is widely considered the industry standard for test, measurement, automation, and control software. By teaching LabVIEW, you are giving your students a powerful software tool to make them more marketable in the workplace.

Using LabVIEW, students can write sophisticated programs and applications in a shorter amount of time without needing advanced computer science training. In addition, teaching LabVIEW has the following benefits:

  • LabVIEW is a broad engineering tool that you can apply to disciplines throughout engineering and science
  • LabVIEW has built-in measurement and analysis functionality to provide students with a hands-on learning experience
  • LabVIEW offers open connectivity to leading engineering tools such as Multisim, Mathcad, Mathematica, Excel, and more
  • LabVIEW is easy to learn and use, so you can focus more time on teaching theory and less time on teaching programming
  • LabVIEW is widely used in industry, and programming with LabVIEW is a valuable, employable skill for students to learn
