We are excited to announce that the EcoCAR 3 Year Two Winter Workshop will be hosted by NXP Semiconductors in Austin, TX. Recently, visionary Sponsor Freescale, merged with NXP Semiconductors. According to Rick Clemmer, Chief Executive Officer of NXP, “The combination of NXP and Freescale creates an industry powerhouse focused on the high-growth opportunities in the Smarter World.” Leadership level sponsor, dSPACE, will team up with NXP to co-sponsor the Year Two Winter Workshop.

For the first time during Year Two, students will teams will have the opportunity to present to industry professionals in the areas of Innovation, Systems Modeling and Simulation, Hardware in the Loop, and Project Status. The first in-person presentations will prepare the students for the Year Two final competition in May of 2016. During the Year Two Winter Workshop, teams can expect to receive multi-track training from several leading competition-level sponsors including: General Motors, NXP, dSPACE, MathWorks, Siemens, Mentor Graphics and more.

A select group of local Austin-area middle school and high school students are invited to visit NXP to take part in the 2016 Education Day. These students will have the opportunity to spend the day with EcoCAR 3 students, participate in hands-on activities that enhance their understanding of STEM, and take a tour of the Internet of Tomorrow Truck.

We look forward to seeing students and sponsors at the Year Two Winter Workshop!
