Royal Holloway opens electronics laboratory with Tektronix products

Royal Holloway, University of London, has opened its Beatrice Shilling Building which includes teaching laboratories in partnership with Tektronix and Rapid Electronics.

The building’s electronic engineering facility is home to these teaching and advanced research laboratories. Sponsor Tektronix says the laboratory enables instructors, lab managers and students to focus on gaining the hands-on skills they need to excel.

160 seated stations, across two laboratories, allow first and second year students to perform practical electronics experiments on 80 benches. Each is equipped with Tektronix and Keithley products including: basic and mixed domain oscilloscopes, arbitrary function generators, power supplies, digital multimeters (DMM), source measurement units (SMU), battery simulators and USB based real-time spectrum analysers.

“We are very excited at the opportunity to work with a prestigious university like Royal Holloway, and to work with Rapid Electronics, in supporting this project,” said Maria Heriz, vice president, EMEA commercial operations at Tektronix.

“This significant investment in new technology and teaching laboratories is providing high quality facilities for our students,” said professor David Howard, head of the department of electronic engineering at Royal Holloway. “We’re pleased to be able to provide our students with Tektronix and Keithley solutions to support them in their learning.”
