Co-curricular learning opportunities

Much of what makes Berkeley Engineering unique is the abundance of ways our students can learn and grow. Each of the activities below offers unique opportunities to integrate material learned in the classroom with a chance to develop character and leadership skills. National research has shown that students who are involved outside the classroom have higher GPAs, are more satisfied with their college experience, develop valuable leadership and interpersonal skills, manage their time better, and hone marketable skills sought by employers (e.g., teamwork, creativity, time management).
