The Customer Challenge

As an adjunct professor at Queensboro Community College’s electronic engineering program Enrique Haro was concerned that his students’ education was limited by a lack of equipment.

He's a firm believer that talking about engineering will never be as beneficial as hands-on practice and tinkering. For example, in order for students to gain experience building hardware solutions, they needed test equipment to characterize and troubleshoot their designs.

Enrique was also in communication with a variety of potential employers about what sort of skills and experience they might be looking for in a graduate. Their feedback solidified his view of the situation.

Practical experience was crucial to his own engineering journey, and he wanted his students to have the same opportunity. He was specifically interested in teaching them RF analysis, a subset of engineering with high demand in the industry and relatively low supply in universities.

The Solution

Haro and QCC partnered with Tektronix to determine which equipment would be the most helpful to their students. Our team worked closely with QCC to deliver an efficient, cost effective, and cutting-edge RF bench solution. The goal was to give students both the tools they needed for any RF project and the experience they needed to have an advantage over other engineering graduates entering the workforce.

After selecting and delivering the brand new RF benches, Tektronix traveled to the school to conduct two separate trainings for students and faculty to ensure that everyone involved was comfortable using the equipment and that it met the program’s needs.

With brand new spectrum analyzers, vector signal generators, and vector network analyzers, the students at Queens Community College now have the cutting-edge RF bench equipment that they need to succeed.

I'm so proud of the lab because it gives us the opportunity to teach the physical aspects of radio frequency that cannot be taught with simulation.”
