Research centers

In Berkeley Engineering’s research centers, our faculty collaborate with industry colleagues and provide students with advanced training in fields that serve your business.

Student projects

Capstone design projects provide students with a hands-on opportunity to create a product or solve a real world challenge supplied by companies and entrepreneurs. These companies and entrepreneurs benefit from having a student team address their business goals, and provide unexpected insights and solutions.

Students spend a semester working on an engineering project, one that will challenge them and allow them to put into practice what they have been learning in the classroom. These programs provide a unique opportunity for companies and entrepreneurs to partner and interact with students and faculty both in and out of the classroom. Please contact Julia Zolinsky for additional information.

Corporate Partners Program

Companies who support multiple key initiatives across the college are considered Berkeley Engineering Corporate Partners. The college’s office of Corporate Relations provides support to Corporate Partners to create holistic partnership packages that offer opportunities to recruit top talent, form strategic alliances with specific departments, support college-wide events and programs, champion diversity initiatives and support philanthropic initiatives across the college. Please contact Julia Zolinsky to learn more and create a tailored package for your company.
