“As an energy engineer, I’ve had the opportunity to approach and solve problems related to energy systems and electrification, including EVs,” says Candace Wong (B.S.’24 EngSci), “alongside other engineers passionate about decarbonizing our energy sector and slowing global warming.”

Like Candace, we know that the road to innovation is not paved alone. With your gift to Berkeley Engineering, you can fuel innovation and change — as well as hope for a better future.
