Texas Instruments makes its largest donation ever to UTDs engineering program

Texas Instruments is donating $5 million to the University of Texas at Dallas to create an endowment fund supporting engineering research in new and emerging fields.
 
The gift is the largest single donation ever committed to UTD by Texas Instruments, according to the university. It will be formally announced Tuesday at an annual campuswide event celebrating UTD’s founders.
 
The endowment fund will let early career faculty members in the electrical and computer engineering department apply to receive $50,000 a year for research. The funding will be available for up to six years for those selected. Eligible faculty members will also have to demonstrate an ability to compete for external funding, such as federal research grants.
 
Texas Instruments chairman and CEO Rich Templeton said in a statement that the company hopes the gift helps the school "produce students who are equipped with both technical and entrepreneurial skills and to be a source of great local talent.”
