Get ready to 'Do Engineering'

NIYANTRA is an annual Student Design contest organized by National Instruments. This is an opportunity for engineering students to solve challenging real world problems, implement their solutions and get rewarded for it. NIYANTRA encourages students to use a platform based approach to build their systems using industry standard COTS hardware and software, instead of building a system from scratch. One such platform-based approach is the National Instruments Graphical System Design, enabled by the LabVIEW RIO Architecture.
