New teaching community empowers educators and
students to accelerate research and discovery with the IoT
NI (Nasdaq: NATI), the provider of platform-based systems that
enable engineers and scientists to solve the world’s greatest
engineering challenges, today announced a new Internet of Things
(IoT) teaching approach with a suite of advanced tools. Professors
and students can take advantage of these teaching tools, which
consist of the myRIO Student Embedded Device, LabVIEW toolkits,
PTC’s ThingWorx software and projects created by Tufts University,
to build real-world IoT applications in the classroom.
The integration of myRIO and the PTC ThingWorx online tools
fosters innovative learning experiences that rapidly connect
real-world measurements to cloud-hosted analysis and visualization
through LabVIEW system design software. An online community built
specifically for educators to collaborate on cutting-edge lab
experiences hosts these learning resources.
“The goal of this teaching solution is to use technology and
methodologies that engage students and augment traditional courses
like electronics and mechatronics,” said Andy Bell, director of
academic programs at NI. “The result is the acceleration of
engineering research and student discovery through IoT. Our
partnership with thought-leading companies and universities such as
PTC and Tufts drives a new approach in this space.”
“This is a significant partnership, not just for PTC and NI, but
for educators globally who are trying to keep pace with the massive
impact the IoT is having on education,” said Jordon Cox, senior
vice president of the PTC Academic Program. “The combination of
advanced hardware, the world’s foremost IoT platform, and
collaboration with one of the world’s most notable engineering
departments is removing the barriers to teaching IoT.”
Educators who are ready to bring the IoT into their existing
curriculum can apply for a summer beta program. The program gives
educators early access to an all new LabVIEW toolkit, student
focused projects and industry support that deliver a new approach
to education using cloud technology and an opportunity to provide
feedback on the solution itself.
