Hello Cal Community!
I’m excited to announce that applications for the SU24 Berkeley Engineering Design Scholars Program are officially live!
The Berkeley Engineering Design Scholar Program is a 10-week summer research program open to all continuing UC Berkeley undergraduates in the College of Engineering or with relevant experience in design innovation. The Scholars actively contribute to the growing design ecosystem at UC Berkeley—participating in seminars, workshops, and special events with members of the design community, including their cohort of fellow undergraduate Design Scholars, graduate students, and faculty. In addition, they learn and practice critical skills of making through the Maker Pass program. Scholars also receive a $6,500 stipend. The per week commitment will fluctuate, but students should prepare to be able to commit at least 20 hours/week towards research.
During the program, each Scholar is matched with a faculty advisor based on their interests, and conducts faculty-guided research in areas such as Engineering Design, Design Methodology, Human Computer Interaction, and Data-driven Design. If there is mutual interest from both the Scholar and faculty advisor, they may have the option of continuing their research beyond the summer.
The program is led by Professor Kosa Goucher-Lambert (Mechanical Engineering), with additional mentorship and project supervision from Professor Hannah Stuart (Mechanical Engineering), and other UC Berkeley faculty.
We are offering the Berkeley Engineering Design Scholar Program as an in-person, on-campus experience in summer 2024, starting June 3rd and ending August 9th.
Apply for the 2024 Berkeley Engineering Design Scholar Program here by Monday, March 18th, 9pm PST. Scholars will be matched with faculty mentors once they are accepted into the program.
To learn more about the program, please contact Janrey Javier (janrey...@berkeley.edu). Learn more about the Scholars from prior cohorts here.
Go Bears!
