LabVIEW Projects for Students — Graphical Programming for Measurement & Control
LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench) from National Instruments is the standard graphical environment for data acquisition, instrument control and industrial automation. Student projects that combine solid VI architecture, real hardware (myDAQ, myRIO, DAQ cards) and clear analysis stand out in viva and placements.
Below are 90+ topics across DAQ, control systems, machine vision, signal processing, instrumentation, automation/HMI, biomedical and communication — with the NI tools typically used.
