Looking to help students embarking on a career in industrial engineering, Freescale has opened a dedicated teaching lab at the University of Warwick.

The Electronic Systems technology lab features 70 workstations with Freescale's Kinetis K70F120M Tower Kits, along with RGB screens and data acquisition modules. Students will also be given a Kinetis FRDM-KL25Z Freedom board for personal use. Flavio Stiffan, who is responsible for the University Programmes EMEA at Freescale, said: "The addition of the School of Engineering at the University of Warwick to the portfolio of Universities featuring Freescale Teaching Labs provides students with state of the art technology to prepare them for a career in industrial and automotive sectors. "Students can achieve greater employability by learning with the technologies that will shape applications for years to come."
