TI wants you to have the tools and resources you need at school so you’ll be prepared for the real world once you graduate. For more than six decades, we’ve been committed to higher education and are focused on making sure university engineering, math and science programs are top quality.

Our commitment covers campuses across the United States and around the globe. Some of our efforts include:

• Developing partnerships and programs to promote excellence in education and research.
• Contributing financial resources, offering expertise and donating equipment – all with the specific goal to make higher education better and more accessible.

In the past ten years, TI and its foundation have made grants to colleges and universities totaling more than $75 million.

Education partnerships and programs

TI has developed the following partnerships and programs to promote excellence in education and research:

• Digital Signal Processing (DSP) University Program – an 18-year program and $50 million investment in university education and DSP research, partnering with universities and research centers around the world.
• DSP Leadership Universities – a collaborative university network of three leading universities in the DSP field: Rice University, Georgia Tech and MIT.
• DSP Elite Universities – 99 premier electrical engineering schools worldwide receive product development tools and access to TI research personnel.
• DSP Labs/Curricula – more than 1,300 labs at universities worldwide help 80,000 electrical engineering students learn about DSP.
• University Challenge – a $100,000 contest to reward the best and brightest engineering students to design and develop new uses for TI DSP and analog technologies. Recent winners have come from universities in Singapore and Italy.
• Analog University Program – a partnership with top electrical engineering departments where students conduct research to develop state-of-the-art analog semiconductor technologies.
