Increasingly, the solution to engineering problems requires contributions from more than one field. Interdisciplinary Studies (IDS) coordinates programs that involve various branches of engineering, the natural sciences and mathematics, the biological sciences and medicine, the social sciences, and the humanities:

Interdisciplinary Studies
The Meakin Interdisciplinary Studies Center coordinates studies that involve various branches of engineering, the natural sciences and mathematics, the biological sciences and medicine, the social sciences, and the humanities.

Applied Science and Technology Graduate Group
The Graduate Program in AS&T focuses on applied physics, engineering sciences, and mathematical sciences.

Bioengineering Graduate Group
This program permits students to benefit from the strong clinical and health sciences resources on the UC San Francisco campus and the strong engineering and basic life sciences resources on the UC Berkeley campus.

Center for Entrepreneurship & Technology
The Center for Entrepreneurship & Technology (CET) equips engineers and scientists with the skills to lead, innovate, and commercialize technology in the global economy.

Engineering Science, Undergraduate Programs
This undergraduate program encompasses a variety of closely related areas of the physical and biological sciences, mathematics and engineering. It is intended to provide a means whereby students, while acquiring knowledge of engineering methods, can pursue their interests in areas of natural science.

Management of Technology
The MOT Program is joint effort between the College of Engineering and the Haas School of Business that addresses critical technology management issues.

Ocean Engineering Graduate Group
This program focuses on the design and construction of ships, offshore platforms, and other ocean structures.

SESAME (Studies in Engineering, Science and Mathematics Education)
SESAME produces graduates who have advanced expertise in a scientific discipline as well as in educational theory and research methodologies. The program includes studies that connect human development, cognitive science, and educational technology with the learning of science, mathematics, and engineering.

Technical Communication Program
This program teaches students to present technical and non-technical material effectively to a variety of audiences, ranging from the educated non-specialist to the more technically literate.
