Electronics Education Platform
Language: English and Spanish
Open
Learn how to use the NI electronics hands-on education platform for circuit design, simulation and prototyping, taking advantage of an unique combination of tools including NI Multisim schematic capture and SPICE simulation software, NI ELVIS educational design and prototyping platform, NI LabVIEW graphical system design software, and NI LabVIEW SignalExpress interactive measurement software. Learn how one common set of tools can be used to design, simulate, build and test a circuit, allowing the student to compare the actual vs. simulated results, thus enhancing the learning experience.
Dates: October 26, 2009 1:30pm - 5:30pm
Venue: Student Union Building (SUB) - UNM Main Campus
Instructors:
TBA - National Instruments
LabVIEW and DAQ for Experiments on the Lab and at Home
Language: English and Spanish
Open
This workshop will introduce the concepts of Virtual Instrumentation including LabVIEW’s graphical programming environment and data acquisition systems. Experience how using LabVIEW and a powerful yet affordable USB DAQ device students can achieve hands-on experience thru multiple lab experiments and student design projects.
Dates: October 26, 2009 8:30am - 12:00pm

Zentity Workshop
Language: English and Spanish
Open
This Workshop will highlight the main characteristics of the Zentity Digital Library Repository created by the Scholarly Communications group at Microsoft External research. This free access platform focuses on the management of academic assets-such as people, books/papers, lectures, presentations, videos, workflows, datasets, and tags - as well as the semantic relationships between them. In this latest release, developers can declaratively (or at runtime) easily introduce their own asset and relationship types. The platform also provides support for various formats and services such as full-text search, OAI-PMH, RSS and Atom Syndication, BibTeX import and export, SWORD, AtomPub, RDFS, and OAI-ORE.
The workshop will provide an introduction to the platform itself and a setup demonstration. We will also discuss and showcase all the open access technologies and standards that the product uses and that can be leveraged to federate and integrate the product with other solutions and products.
