RS Components supports electronic design engineers worldwide with powerful professional rapid prototyping tools – DesignSpark PCB (for schematic & layout design) and DesignSpark Mechanical (for 3D Design) . These tools are built to ease out & speed-up the electronic design process, considerably reducing the concept to prototype time and let our customers design world changing products.
With dedicated university focus RS India promote these rapid prototyping tools in Indian universities so that budding engineers can learn electronic design which will help them in carrying out various electronics projects.
Electronic design which comprises of schematic & layout design and can be extended to 3D conceptual product design is not a part of curriculum of most universities in India. Students learn these things out of their interest for carrying out projects. As we know today there is a lot buzz about “Electronic Design & Manufacturing in India” and there are lot many initiatives being driven, RS India felt perhaps it is important to propose universities RS Electronic Design Lab based on our design tools, where students can learn & practice schematic & PCB layout design & 3D product design.
Many universities warmed-up to the idea & they set-up “RS Electronic Design Lab” in their campuses. This is absolutely free of cost lab , where RS supports universities with its professional design software – DesignSpark PCB & DesignSpark Mechanical , course material to run a short term course for students & technical resource like tutorials, open source projects etc.
Very recently one of to top Universities in North India - Chitkara Univeristy, Himachal Pradesh has set-up “RS Electronic Design Lab in their campus. The lab was inaugurated on Jan 8, 2015 by Sagar Juneja, (Technical Marketing Manager RS India) and the ceremony was attended by Dr. Rajnish Sharma (Dean Academics, Chitkara University, H.P.), Prof. Lipika Gupta (HOD, ECE) and other senior management and faculty of Chitkara University Himachal Pradesh. This was followed by a faculty development program conducted on Electronic Design using DesignSpark PCB & DesignSpark Mechanical.
Inauguration of Lab - Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
People are keenly watching RS Video, which was played immdiately after the inauguration
University has given a dedicated space for the lab where RS Design Tools are installed in over 25 computers. University has also made a provision where students can test their hardware circuits/boards that they design, using various lab instruments present. This is very thoughtful lab set-up where several posters showcasing the various elements of electronic design & how RS supports electronic design and electronic design engineers (including universities) are put-up.
RS Posters feature inside the Lab
We thank Chitkara University Himachal Pradesh taking-up this initiative and setting-up “RS Electronic Design Lab”.
If other engineering colleges & universities are interested in setting-up “RS Electronic Design Lab” in their campus, we will be keen to support them.
