The 2018 Americas CLA Summit will be September 12-14 (Wed to Fri). As we say every year: the volunteer organizers can plan the event, reserve the space at NI, and invite the CLAs, but without content from the community, the CLA Summit cannot happen. With LabVIEW, students can design graphical programming solutions to their homework problems and laboratory experiments―an ideal tool for science and engineering applications―that is also fun to use! The LabVIEW Student Edition affords students the opportunity for self-paced learning and independent project development.
