STMicroelectronics and ARM Cultivate Future Engineering Talent in Chinese Electronics Industry
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Shanghai, China, May 21, 2015 - STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global
semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics
applications, and ARM (LSE: ARM, NASDAQ: ARMH.US), the world's leading
semiconductor intellectual property (IP) supplier, have announced the creation
of an innovation lab initiative to promote the ARM(® )mbed((TM)) and STM32
technologies in China. The collaboration will develop and expand the Chinese
engineering community targeting global Internet-of-Things (IoT) opportunities.
Eighteen polytechnic universities across China have already joined the program,
which is also supported by the Association of Fundamental Computing Education in
Chinese Universities. The program will offer teaching materials to support
embedded system courses based on STM32-based development boards, ARM mbed-
enabled embedded system designs and ARM Keil(®) MDK development tools. Over the
next five years, the program aims to establish 200 innovation labs across
graduate schools, universities, and professional institutions.
"With the increasingly dynamic electronics industry, teaching-materials
preparation that addresses the latest technologies is one of the biggest
challenges for teachers," said Prof. Bao Jie, Association of Fundamental
Computing Education in Chinese Universities. "Leveraging industry advancements
such as the ARM mbed and ST STM32 Microcontroller platforms, the innovation labs
can really help teachers to develop young talented people by giving them solid
theoretical knowledge, great practical skills, and a sense of design and
creativity."
"Since its launch in the mid-2000s, STMicroelectronics' STM32 microcontroller
family has proven a market success with outstanding performance. The STM32
family and its complete ecosystem helped reshape the microcontroller market,"
said Arnaud Julienne, Senior Director of MMS, Greater China and South Asia
Region, STMicroelectronics. "Promoting STM32 with ARM mbed in the university
programs can help students become familiar with one of the most popular embedded
platform at an early stage and demonstrates our support and commitment to the
local engineering communities."
"ARM is successful because its ecosystem is full of inspiring and expert
people," said Allen Wu, Executive Vice president and President for Greater
China, ARM. "The IoT represents an enormous growth opportunity for Chinese
technology companies on the world stage and we want to support that. The STM32
Innovation Lab gives educators access to the latest teaching materials from the
ARM University Program, including ST's products, to ensure students begin their
career path in the Chinese technology industry in the best way possible."
