National Instruments and the University of California, Berkeley, College of Engineering are working together to offer electrical engineering and computer sciences (EECS) students a new graphical system design environment in which to design, prototype and deploy their projects.

Dr. James Truchard, National Instruments president, CEO and cofounder, kicked off the 13th annual NIWeek virtual instrumentation conference yesterday by discussing the role of National Instruments LabVIEW in system design and the ways NI plans to take advantage of next-generation programming.
