NI LabVIEW Lab

National Instruments Corporation.(NI), is an American multinational company with international operation. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, it is a producer of automated test equipment and virtual instrumentation software. Common applications include data acquisition, instrument control and machine vision. LabVIEW is systems engineering software for applications that require test, measurement, and control with rapid access to hardware and data insights. LabVIEW offers a graphical programming approach that helps you visualize every aspect of your application, including hardware configuration, measurement data, and debugging. This visualization makes it simple to integrate measurement hardware from any vendor, represent complex logic on the diagram, develop data analysis algorithms, and design custom engineering user interfaces.

IBM Lab

In continuation with the MoU signed with IBM, Francis Xavier Engineering College has been identified as the “Centre of Excellence” with the objective of imparting technical knowledge for the benefit of the students by conducting various courses For establishment of COE it is imperative that aspiring educational institutes forge linkages with the industry to enhance interaction between corporate professionals and academia for imparting need based skill oriented quality education. This would enhance the employment opportunities as companies which collaborate with the institutes for COE can train their students from industry perspective and subsequently absorb them as trainees into their own organization. In this regard, We have launched 3 dedicated hi-tech laboratory worth Rs.1.76 crore.
