Case Study: College of Engineering achieves 30% enrollment growth and industry-ready graduates with Keysight

Transforming Engineering Education with Cutting-Edge Keysight Labs

The College of Engineering at a public U.S. research university faced the challenge of producing industry‑ready undergraduate engineers, increasing enrollment and retention, and giving students hands‑on experience with the same professional tools used in industry. To address this, the school partnered with Keysight, adopting Keysight test and measurement instruments (including 1000X and 6000 Series InfiniiVision oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, function generators, and logic analyzers), PathWave EDA software, IoT courseware, and the RF & Microwave Industry‑Ready Student Certification Program.

Keysight outfitted the new undergraduate labs with compact, professional‑grade hardware, software, and industry-led courseware and certification, enabling hands‑on IoT and RF/microwave training. As a result, the College of Engineering reported a 30% increase in student enrollment, rose 10 spots in national and international rankings, and produced more confident, better‑prepared, industry‑ready graduates—demonstrating measurable improvements in student outcomes and program competitiveness.
