Overview
|
The Electronics Education Platform includes NI Multisim circuit simulation software, industry-standard NI LabVIEW measurement software, and the NI ELVIS prototyping workstation. This integrated hardware and software platform provides a hands-on method for students to gain in-depth knowledge of electronics design theory and practice. Based on professional PCB design tools, the Electronics Education Platform was designed with the needs of educators in mind, and aids student understanding through features such as integrated quizzes, virtual and rated components, 3D virtual breadboarding, easy measurements, and more. |

Practical Teaching Ideas
|
|
This collection of useful teaching ideas, developed by Tracy Shields, an electronics engineer and experienced instructor, is intended to familiarize teachers with some of the exciting academic features in Multisim. These "teaching objects" will save instructors hours of development time by providing experiments that are fully tested and easily integrated into the classroom or lab. They are provided free of charge and without restriction for use with Multisim in any educational setting. These exercises, complete with lab procedures and questions, will reinforce important concepts, build student confidence and make the most of valuable lab time. These experiments can be given directly to students as a lab exercise, and they also include suggestions as to other areas of possible use. Lab 1: DC Circuits and Thevenin’s Theorem

Introduction to Multisim and NI ELVIS
|
|
This course will provide you with an introduction to Multisim and microcontroller co-simulation. In particular, this course emphasizes on the ease-of-use of Multisim and how it can be serve in a teaching and learning environment. As well, this course will demonstrate how the MCU Module in Multisim, together with NI ELVIS can help you bring theory to life in your classroom. At the end of this course, you should have a basic understanding of how to create and simulate simple circuits, program and debug microcontrollers, and how to recreate your design in a hardware lab setting using NI ELVIS.
