The Designing with Freescale Seminar Series in Rochester will take place Sept. 18 at the RIT Inn & Conference Center, 5257 West Henrietta Road. Registration begins at 7:45 a.m., with the opening general session beginning at 8:45 a.m. This year, Navjot Chhabra, systems solution research and business development manager for Freescale, will be the keynote speaker, discussing the company’s key enabling products and technologies that are bringing the Internet of Things to life.

The Designing with Freescale event is free, and participants can register online.

In addition to Chhabra’s keynote, the event will afford attendees the opportunity to meet with industry subject matter experts, discover incredible advancements in the embedded systems design through solution demonstrations and hands-on experience with some of Freescale’s most advanced products.

The Freescale seminar is open to design engineers, engineering faculty and students, industry partners and executive managers. Participants attend hands-on training, laboratory demonstrations and presentations highlighting development tools, reference designs, customer products, student applications and projects.

Featured technologies at the symposium will include Kinetis MCUs, i.MX application processors, QorIQ processing platforms, RF products, sensor solutions and software and design services solutions.

“The event has expanded considerably,” said Andy Mastronardi, global director of University Programs for Freescale. “There are more hands-on workshops and tracks related to Freescale products, applications and tools. The series was created to help enable engineers to accelerate the development of innovative end-products using Freescale technologies.”

This is the ninth year of the symposium. More than 200 participants from businesses and universities in the Northeast are expected to attend. Computer engineering students from RIT’s Kate Gleason College of Engineering are scheduled display research projects, and a product tradeshow takes place throughout the day.
