EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – August 3, 2015
What:
NI (formerly AWR Corporation) announces that the South African
Durban University of Technology (DUT) has adopted NI AWR
Design Environment™ for its RF design course. Expecting a steep learning curve and a semester-long migration
period, Prof. Stuart MacPherson was pleasantly surprised with the software's ease of use and support, enabling him
to completely transition to the new tool even before the semester began.
"Implementing NI AWR software in the DUT RF design curriculum has resulted in the academic level of the course
being advanced and the pass rate being improved," said Prof. MacPherson, associate director at DUT. "This is a win-win
situation that is not often encountered in an academic environment! It has been a pleasure interacting with our
sales representative and we are looking forward to many more years in the University Program."
