Are you looking to connect with other students who share your interests? Do you want to find partners for a start-up or join a community service project? Berkeley Engineering is home to dozens of student organizations that help members hone teamwork and leadership skills, foster a diverse community, provide cultural support and give students the opportunity to pursue something they’re passionate about.

Except as noted, undergraduate organizations listed below are part of the Blue & Gold Certification program, a joint effort of the Engineering Student Council and Engineering Student Services. The Blue & Gold program is centered around the core values of equity and inclusion, safety, integrity, engagement and transparency. Certified groups share these values, are UC Berkeley-registered student organizations, have completed required trainings, and are committed to creating a healthy and welcoming community at Berkeley Engineering. Learn more about Blue & Gold certification.
In addition to the organizations below, the LEAD Center maintains a complete list of student organizations across campus and explains how you can start your own student organization. Also check our directory of social media channels for Berkeley Engineering groups.
