Deep Individualized Upper Division

Other Requirements: College breadth Electives



Undergraduate Programs

Two programs, two Colleges, one mission

BS in EECS (College of Engineering) Includes standardized physics / math requirements,

increased EE focus

BA in CS (Letters and Science) More flexibility in breadth (math, sciences, etc.)

The major coursework is the same! Same classrooms, assignments, and faculty advisers.



The L&S CS Lower Division

• CS 61A: Structure / Interpretation of Computer Programs

• CS 61B: Data Structures• CS 70: Discrete Math with Probability Theory

• CS 61C: Machine Structures

• Math 1A/1B: Calculus Sequence• Math 54: Linear Algebra

• EE16A (or B): Signals and Circuits



Declaring the Major

• Requirements for declaring the major– Complete declaration classes – Expected to be CS61A, CS61B, CS70– GPA threshold (average over declaration classes)

• Our best estimate: 3.3 for students starting in Fall 2015

– Declaration after 3-4 semesters depending on background

• Why is there a threshold?– CS is at an all-time high in popularity– Our program has grown over 300% in less than three years– EECS + CS majors are now 10% of undergraduates and growing– We need to balance inclusion with our high level of service

The Differences Translate to:

• Greater depth in another area (math, stats, bio, …)

• Greater breadth across the college• Time for another language• Many double majors:

• Applied Math• Statistics• Cognitive Science• Economics• Business• …



Culture



Faculty – Student Connections

• 97% of EECS courses taught by regular faculty

• Faculty Advisor– Selected by the student– Meets every term, at least

• Faculty office hours

• Undergraduate participation in faculty research projects

• Faculty - Student Lunches

• Undergraduate Social Hours



What matters to our Department?

• Students• Industry• Academia• Society

Key metric for success:If our students succeed, we succeed!

More PhD’s did their undergraduate work at Berkeley than any other US institution.



Student Input Matters

Example outcomes:•Beautiful new study spaces in Soda and Cory Halls

•Replaced computers on 2nd floor of Cory

•Streamlined course registration

•Changed Faculty Office Hours

•New Student Health & Well Being Sub-group

Today, it is not enough to provide our future engineering leaders with technical skills. They must also learn how to work in interdisciplinary teams, how to iterate designs rapidly, how to manufacture sustainably, how to combine art and engineering, and how to address global markets.” – Dr. Paul E. Jacobs,

Chairman & CEO, Qualcomm Inc.

(opening Fall 2015)

EECS Internship Open House

• Students benefit from industry experience

• The EECS Internship Open House and Infosessions give companies access to a talented pool of engineering students and the opportunity to develop a long-term relationship.

• Interns enjoy challenging work assignments, receive financial remuneration at current industry pay scales, and may receive independent study credit.



Undergraduate Research Opportunities

35% of EECS undergrads work on research projects with faculty

Research can help you discover a smaller, more intimate Berkeley, where extraordinary intellectual communities are created.

Example Project:Student: Nicholas CarliniFaculty Mentor: David WagnerGraduate Mentor: Adrienne Porter-Felt Overview of Work: Investigating vulnerabilities in Google Chrome

Extensions. Discovered a new vulnerability Google researchers were completely unaware of, earning him a listing in Google’s “Security Hall of Fame”.



EECS Honors Degree Program

Benefits include: • Official notation of honors degree

on Berkeley transcript• Bi-annual dinner with faculty• Dinner event with alumni • Contacts for research, internships…

Provides very talented undergraduate students with an enhanced education. Students typically enter the program after their 3rd semester.



Five Year BS/MS Degree

• For outstanding and highly motivated students.

• Designed to develop engineering leaders.

• Interdisciplinary program

• Breadth in technical fields such as: biology, physics, and statistics or a professional school such as business, law, or public policy.

• Only for Berkeley EECS and L&S CS students.

• Students apply to the program in their junior year.



UC Berkeley EECS - Global Reach



Berkeley EECS Alumni

According to industry leaders, Berkeley grads:

– “… stand out” as “self-starters” who “graduate with street smarts.”

– “… have more of a go-get-it attitude or a can-do attitude” than graduates from some other top schools.

– “… form a very diverse mix of students, from a wide range of backgrounds.”

And, we hope…..

– exhibit honesty, leadership, courage, consideration for humanity, and high standards of professional ethics
