Welcome to PREP!  

We are so excited to welcome this year's incoming cohort.  PREP begins with a three-week summer program.

• Academic Component: During the summer portion of PREP students attend  primer seminars based on lower division courses that they'll during their year as a Berkeley Engineer.  Through this they'll make valuable connections with other incoming engineering students, PREP alumni and faculty.

• Professional Development Component: Even if they've have never created a resume, our PREP students will be ready to hit the ground running just in time for UC Berkeley’s fall career fairs. Landing one's Dream Job is a journey and it starts at PREP! 

• Design Component: In partnership with the Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation our students work with engineering Professor Scott Moura in the Jacobs Institute of Design Innovation. Working with a team, they will create a prototype using the SPRINT design process. At the end of the program they'll showcase their product at the Design Expo to industry representatives, alumni and other supporters. The showcase will be live streamed so anyone can join in and see their outstanding projects and pitches.   

• Community Component: As a part of PREP students are a part of a larger community including previous PREP cohorts as well as the sister program T-PREP which serves incoming transfer students.
