RS Components (RS), a trading brand of Electrocomponents plc, offers a range of solutions suitable for the education sector, thereby fostering creativity, design and innovation. Educational institutions promote creativity; engineering-related ideas can be translated into innovative designs. However, without the right tools, it is very difficult to materialize these ideas.
Today, many educational institutions are finding that they increasingly need to operate like businesses in many respects. They have to manage budgets and resources and ensure 24/7 operation, making them increasingly similar to organizations with high-level R&D departments. Therefore, they need help selecting the most suitable equipment for their advanced mechanical, robotics, and electronics laboratories.
RS works closely with manufacturers to offer new and educational versions, such as Tektronix digital oscilloscopes. Educational versions of products are typically the same as the standard products but with additional free features; for example, they may include multiple software licenses and a full suite of features or accessories.
