Hi MESA,
Here is another opportunity for engineering students, a free webinar series with tons of great information! Please see below:
UC Berkeley’s College of Engineering is hosting an exciting series of webinars for prospective transfer students. We really appreciate you sharing this information widely with your colleagues and students within the California Community College system. Flyer attached.
Berkeley Engineering Overview & The Secrets to Transfer Admissions
Tuesday, October 4, 4–5:15 p.m. | Register here (Links to an external site.)
This webinar will share information about the College of Engineering and provide an overview of the transfer admissions process for California Community College students.
Transfer Student Panel
Wednesday, October 12, 7-8 p.m. | Register here (Links to an external site.)
Join us to hear from the Engineering Transfer Ambassadors (Links to an external site.) about their experience on campus, including participating in classes, internships, research, etc. We will have time for participants to ask their own questions.
Finding Research Opportunities as a Community College Student
Thursday, October 20, 4–5 p.m. | Register here (Links to an external site.)
Undergraduate research opportunities are a great way to engage with a discipline in a hands-on way, contribute to the knowledge base, “try-on” graduate school, and enhance your transfer application. This session will provide an overview of the Transfer-to-Excellence Research Internship and introduce other ways to secure scientific research opportunities while enrolled in community college.
Berkeley Engineering Faculty Talk with Dr. Matthew Sherburne
Tuesday, October 25, Noon–1 p.m. | Register here (Links to an external site.)
Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from Dr. Matthew Sherburne of the materials science and engineering department, who will speak about his experience transferring from community college to UC Berkeley and ultimately pursuing his Ph.D. He will also share advice on making the most of campus opportunities, including participating in undergraduate research.
Peer Application Workshop with the Society of Women Engineers
Tuesday, November 1, 6-8 p.m | Register here (Links to an external site.)
This workshop will allow community college students to work with current UC Berkeley transfer students in breakout rooms, where SWE will be giving personalized peer application advice. Whether students are brainstorming essay topics or making final edits, we would love to see you there! All genders are welcome.
Career Center: Engineering Industry Internship Recruitment at UC Berkeley
Monday, November 7, 10-11 a.m. | Register here (Links to an external site.)
Join us to learn more about engineering internship recruitment at Cal! The Career Center’s Engineering counseling team will provide insightful information about the process, what to expect, and conclude with a Q&A session.
Department presentations
Please note that not all majors are offering presentations. You can explore each major through our undergraduate programs page.
Engineering Science: The Insider’s Guide to Interdisciplinary Studies
Thursday, October 27, 2-3 p.m. | Register here (Links to an external site.)
This session will introduce prospective students to the Engineering Science program at UC Berkeley. The session agenda includes a presentation, and Q&A session. The undergraduate program is multi-departmental and interdisciplinary. The majors consist of closely related fields in the natural sciences, mathematics, physics, and engineering. The majors offered within the Engineering Science Program prepare students especially for advanced graduate study in engineering or the natural sciences. Engineering Sciences is comprised of four majors: Energy Engineering, Engineering Mathematics and Statistics, Engineering Physics, and Environmental Engineering Science.
Industrial Engineering and Operations Research (IEOR) information session
Saturday, November 5, 10-11 a.m. | Register here (Links to an external site.)
In IEOR, we invent, analyze and learn tools and approaches for design, analysis, risk management, and decision-making in complex real-world systems like supply-chains, energy systems, healthcare systems, and financial systems. Join IEOR’s Professor Javad Lavaei for a talk on the IEOR department and the opportunities for those who choose this major.
Materials Science & Engineering – Presentation, Faculty and Student Panels, and Q&A
Friday, November 4, 12–1:30 p.m. | Register here (Links to an external site.)
This session is designed to introduce students to materials science and engineering and how it relates to other engineering and science disciplines, as well as meet some of our faculty. You will learn about the areas of materials science, research and career/internship opportunities. You will also learn the different career paths materials science has and what those have meant to each faculty member. There will be a brief presentation, time for a question and answer session, and panels with faculty and current students.
Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences Q&A
Tuesday, November 8, 10-11:30 a.m. | Register here (Links to an external site.)
Prospective transfer students will learn more about the College of Engineering’s EECS major and the College of Letters & Science’s Computer Science major in this Q&A session with department advisers.
