Document ActionsStudent ResearchUndergraduate students in the College of Engineering are highly encouraged to pursue research experiences. Undergraduate research plays an important role in the educational experience and provides practical skills for future employment and graduate school. Engineering students have a wide range of opportunities available to participate in groundbreaking research with faculty and graduate students. Research Opportunities for Undergraduates (REUs)Engage in meaningful and exciting research experiences under the mentorship of a faculty advisor. Explore research laboratories and discover new knowledge while getting prepared for graduate school. These experiences are invaluable especially if you have plans to pursue a Ph.D. Paid summer research experiences are mostly funded by federal agencies and often include support for housing and travel expenses. Please note that some of the programs may have citizenship or residency requirements. UC Berkeley Research Opportunities

Research Centers and Institutes The Yan Fund for Undergraduate Research supports undergraduate students with Federal Work Study allocations who are conducting research in a faculty member’s lab. The Fund is open to students in all College of Engineering academic departments, and are available immediately until the fund is exhausted. The fund will pay 50% of the student’s wages while the student is within his/her Federal Work Study allocation, and 100% thereafter, until no further funding remains, or until the end of the research period (semester, summer, or academic-year). Students and faculty should plan accordingly. For complete information and assistance applying for the funding, please contact Dee Dee Mendoza at dmendoza@berkeley.edu. |
