NI, Overcoming IoT Learning Barriers Through Collaboration
Published2017.06.28 16:33Accelerating IoT-Based Research and Discovery
National Instruments has announced a new Internet of Things (IoT) educational approach using an advanced tool package. Faculty and students can leverage this educational tool, which consists of the myRIO student embedded device, LabVIEW toolkit, PTC's ThingWorx software, and a development project from Tufts University in the United States, to build real IoT applications in the classroom.
Through the integration of myRIO and PTC ThingWorx online tools, this learning method rapidly connects real measurement values to analytics and visualization hosted in the cloud via LabVIEW system design software. Additionally, it is designed to enable educators to collaborate based on cutting-edge lab experience through an online community, sharing these learning resources.
Andy Bell, Director of NI Academic Programs, states, "The purpose of this educational solution is to increase student engagement and utilize technologies and methodologies that supplement traditional courses such as electronics and mechatronics. This will result in advancing engineering research and students' technical discovery processes through IoT. NI is exploring new approaches in this field by collaborating with companies and universities that possess thought leadership, such as PTC and Tufts University."
Jordon Cox, Senior Vice President of PTC Academic Programs, says, "This partnership is important not only to PTC and NI, but also to educators around the world who do not want to miss the wave of IoT that is having tremendous impact on the education sector. Advanced hardware, world-leading IoT platforms, and collaboration with engineering teams are combined to remove barriers that obstruct IoT learning."
Educators seeking to introduce IoT into existing curricula can apply for the beta program this summer. Participants in this program can experience a new educational approach using cloud technology by leveraging all new LabVIEW toolkits, student-centered projects, and industry support, and provide feedback on the solution.
