Texas Instruments expands University programme to China
Texas Instruments (TI) has announced the expansion of its commitment to technology innovation in China, by inviting three universities in China, Tsinghua University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, and University of Electronic Science and Technology, to join its Worldwide Leadership University program.
These three universities will join four other TI Leadership Universities as part of a network that works with TI and TI Leadership Universities on future TI signal processing funded programs. This expansion furthers TI's long-term commitment to education and advanced research in China.
TI started its China University Program in 1996 and has assisted these three Leadership Universities in establishing technology centres and more than 160 labs in about 141 other China universities. These universities have chosen TI's digital signal processors, micro-controllers and analogue technology to provide hands-on learning for their students and researchers enabling advanced project capabilities in the areas of consumer electronics, medical and industrial markets.
TI's Leadership University Program develops future engineering talents, advances research innovation and increases cooperation between universities and local industries. The three Leadership Universities shall receive funding of RMB 12 million over five years. The funding will be used to support research programs, as well as curriculum development in DSP, analogue and mixed signal systems. TI's Leadership University Program increases TI's total funding of its China University Program to approximately RMB 10 million per year and touches more than 24,000 engineers a year who graduate with integrated and system design expertise.
