	<description><![CDATA[What do robotics, video game mods, and chip design have in common? They’re all part of the incredibly broad and exciting world of EECS at UC Berkeley. In this episode, you’ll hear from faculty member Claire Tomlin, a MacArthur “Genius” and former chair of the EECS department, as well as undergraduates Robert Nochez, Julian Rickenbach, and Evan Sandoval. They’ll share how they discovered EECS, how it merges hardware and software, and why collaboration is central to innovation in this field. Whether you’re into AI, circuits, or creating the next big thing, this episode will show you just how much is possible with EECS.
