Newark Expands Educational Offerings with Digilent and NI Engineering Teaching Solutions

Digilent, now part of Emerson, is taking the reigns as NI’s Education and Teaching brand of products

Chicago – July 23, 2024: Digilent and NI engineering teaching solutions are now available from Newark to empower educators and researchers with a suite of hardware and software tools to support learning experiences in both traditional and remote learning environments.

Digilent excels in providing affordable and portable devices for learning circuits and digital logic remotely, making them a perfect fit for the recent rise of remote and hybrid learning environments. Their products are lightweight, USB-connected, and cater to the needs of both students and educators.

Digilent’s popular products, like the Analog Discovery 3 and the Analog Discovery Studio, allow students to use a Windows/Mac/Linux machine to become one of many real-world test devices like an oscilloscope, logic analyser, pattern generator, and more. Powered by Digilent’s own WaveForms software, these tools – small enough to fit in a backpack – give professors and students the flexibility to teach or learn in a way that’s best for them.

For those who are looking for a solution for digital logic instruction, Digilent’s collection of introductory FPGAs are a welcome start. Boards like the Basys 3 and Zybo Z7 are aimed to put the learning of computer architecture, basic digital functions, and even control and robotics into the hands of students.

“Digilent’s Academic product line provides educators and students with low-cost, fundamental tools and curricula to make engineering technologies understandable and accessible to all,” said Jay Wimsatt, Director Product Operations at Newark. “We are excited to make these innovative teaching solutions available to our customers, supporting the evolving educational landscape and the increasing demand for flexible learning tools.”
