Altera Opens 30th Joint Laboratory and Training Center in China
Future Engineers to Learn About Programmable Logic Advantages Through Education and Hands-On Experience
Hong Kong, April 4, 2007—Altera Corporation (NASDAQ:ALTR) today announced the opening of the Joint Laboratory and Training Center (JLTC) at South China Normal University in China—the 30th such training center Altera has established in the country. Part of Altera’s worldwide University Program, the JLTCs are equipped with the latest Altera® Quartus® II software and development kits to aid professors in conducting hands-on training with students.
“This is an outstanding contribution to overall PLD education in China,” said Professor Liu Ming, vice president of South China Normal University. “The joint labs and training centers will enable design engineering students to build their expertise in FPGA and structured ASIC design methodology. The joint labs are also beneficial to China's success in the increasingly competitive global electronics marketplace.”
“China represents a strategic area of growth for Altera, as it is quickly becoming a center of innovation,” said David Shen, Altera’s vice president and managing director, Asia Pacific. “We are committed to educating China’s future workforce, as engineers at OEMs, start-ups and design houses in China are increasing their use of programmable technology for their time-to-market and cost advantages.”
Joint Laboratory and Training Centers in China
Education and training are among Altera’s top priorities in China. As a part of Altera’s long-term commitment to providing world-class technology and education to Chinese engineers, 30 JLTCs have been established in China since 2004.
