NXP Foundation Commits $250,000 to Advance Engineering Education at Austin Community College District
29 Noviembre 2022 - 6:13PM
The NXP Foundation, the nonprofit organization associated with NXP
Semiconductors (NASDAQ:NXPI), today announced a $250,000 donation
to the Austin Community College District (ACC) Foundation in
support of the school’s Engineering Technology and Advanced
Manufacturing Program. Representatives from the NXP Foundation
presented a check to the ACC Board of Trustees at a reception on
Tuesday, November 29, 2022.
The donation, which includes scholarship funds and will also
enable the creation of the NXP Advanced Manufacturing Lab,
demonstrates NXP’s ongoing commitment to promote and improve
science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education in the
local Austin community. The NXP Advanced Manufacturing Lab will be
co-located with the ACC High School Advanced Manufacturing IMPACT
Academy at ACC Highland, where students can work toward college
credits while they are still in high school. In addition, beginning
in the 2023-24 academic year, the NXP-endowed scholarship program
will begin making awards targeting candidates from the Advanced
Manufacturing Academy.
“For many years, the NXP Foundation has been dedicated to
improving STEM education and to supporting initiatives that improve
diversity in STEM fields - this gift reinforces our commitment to
STEM and to supporting the Austin community,” said Danielle
Alexandra, Chair of the NXP Foundation. “ACC is an extraordinary
institution of learning, inspiring the spirits and minds of young
people to excel and reach beyond barriers to achieve their
aspirations. At the NXP Foundation, we are so proud to be part of
their journeys through the new NXP Advanced Manufacturing
laboratory. We hope this donation will help support today's
students with the groundwork they need to embrace the spirit of
innovation throughout their careers.”
“ACC and NXP share in a vision to lift our community through
education. This generous donation is a powerful gift that will not
only provide much needed financial support for students, but it
will help us grow ACC’s manufacturing program so we can continue to
meet the evolving needs of our workforce,” said ACC Chancellor, Dr.
Richard Rhodes. “Not only will ACC be able to create new and
advanced learning spaces for students to gain the skills they need
for a rewarding career in manufacturing, but we’ll also be able to
help alleviate financial challenges. Scholarships are powerful. To
our students, a scholarship can renew hope, instill confidence, and
show them that someone is invested in their future. Thanks to
NXP, we can help more students achieve their academic dreams.”
The training tools provided at the NXP Semiconductors Advanced
Manufacturing Lab will help support and extend educational
curriculum and resources for both adult and high school students
entering the semiconductor industry and other advanced
manufacturing occupations. Tools and support will address education
in Industry 4.0 components, fully factory automation, reading
schematics and navigating feedback control systems.
