The Speech-day of National Instruments (NI) Mentor Program was held on 12 June at the Faculty of Informatics of the University of Debrecen.
31 schools took part in the mentor program during the 2012/2013 academic year, in which students were mentored by 36 NI advisers. 100 students from 20 schools participated in yesterday’s event, where they represented their schools and played with the robots pictured.
The competing high schools were provided with the latest NI products, with which students can extend their knowledge in practice as well as in theory.
The purpose of the NI Mentor Program is to create programs with the help of LabVIEW and myDAQ and to develop an engineering attitude within students.
LabVIEW is a highly productive development environment that engineers and scientists use for graphical programming and unprecedented hardware integration to rapidly design and deploy measurement and control systems. (ni.com)
NI myDAQ is a low-cost data acquisition (DAQ) device that gives students the ability to measure and analyze live signals anywhere, anytime. NI myDAQ is compact and portable so students can extend hands-on learning outside of the lab environment using industry-standard tools and methods. (ni.com)
The education sector is very important for National Instruments; one of its aims is to help and support engineering and scientific education, creative and innovative way of thinking. NI is in contact with several universities, often organizes NI days, and participates in job fairs. Recruitment and meeting talented youngsters are also significant areas for the company.
