 Building
tomorrow's workforce through higher education has been a commitment
of TI for more than 60 years. TI works to develop partnerships
and programs, contribute financial resources, offer expertise
and donate equipment - all with the specific goal to make
higher education - particularly focused on engineering, math
and science - better and more accessible. TI's efforts reach
the top engineering university programs around the world.
In the past ten years, TI and its foundation have made grants
totaling more than $75 million to colleges and universities.
DSP (Digital Signal Processing) University Program
A multiyear program and $50 million investment in university
education and DSP research, partnering with universities and
research centers around the world.

University of Texas at Dallas
A $2.5 million grant toward an addition to the existing engineering
building, compounds a 30-year relationship, which began when
TI's founders donated cash, land and equipment to start the
university. The Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer
Science is named for one of TI's founders.
Additionally, the university is receiving $300 million from
the state of Texas, UT System and other entities as part of
TI's decision to build a state of the art manufacturing facility
in Richardson, TX.

Texas Tech University
A $1 million donation to establish a new master's degree program
in semiconductor product engineering.
Three TI business units and four TI executives endowed a chair
worth $1M to build infrastructure and promote growth of the
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

China
TI DSP University Program in China was implemented in 1996
when TI and China’s Ministry of Education an agreement
to provide the latest DSP technologies, development tools
and teaching tools to set up the DSP labs. This effort greatly
enhance China universities in DSP education and research.
To date, TI has invested in 100 labs in 87 universities, trained
12,000 graduate and undergraduate students per year and sponsored
173 workshops.

India
TI's university program in India is the company’s second
largest and fastest growing. The company has established relationships
with the Indian Institutes of Technology, the Indian Institute
of Science and other leading technology schools across India.
Six major states in India have made DSP a compulsory part
of their higher education engineering curriculum and about
22,400 TI-DSP skilled engineers graduate each year from TI
equipped labs that operate across 414 engineering colleges
in India. India produces approximately 360,000 engineering/science
graduates each year making TI's university program an increasingly
critical component in seeding TI's best-in-class silicon into
technology products.
