Students

Programs

We offer a wide variety of programs to support the success of engineering students during their time at Berkeley and beyond. These include specialized experiences for incoming first-year and transfer students, and a range of mentorship programs connecting undergraduates with fellow students, alumni and faculty.

ESS also offers engineering workshops each semester to help students make the most of their time as undergraduates in Berkeley Engineering. And programs like LeaderShape and the Grand Challenges Scholars Program offer unique opportunities to students in all engineering majors.

Student life

Learning and “lightbulb” moments aren’t confined to the classroom. They can happen anywhere — at the coffee house, on a team project, in a casual conversation over pizza. At Berkeley Engineering, you’re surrounded by some of the smartest, most creative and entrepreneurial people you’ll ever meet.

Teams & organizations

Take what you’ve learned in the classroom or lab, then add character development and leadership skills. Competition teams and student organizations give you the opportunity to showcase your work and develop new ideas. You’ll also be meeting new people, creating professional connections and expanding your skillsets.

Student leadership

Engineering Student Services is the place to go to learn about leadership and professional development opportunities. We can help you acquire the skills that will build your résumé, heighten your profile and launch your career.
