Welcome to PREP!

We are so excited to have you join us for this year's program. Here are some things to look forward to.

• Academic Component: You will attend primer seminars based on lower division courses that you’ll take during your first year as a Berkeley Engineer. You will make valuable connections with other incoming engineering students and PREP alumni.

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

• Design Component: You will work with engineering Professor Scott Moura in the Jacobs Institute of Design Innovation. Working with a team, you will create a prototype using the SPRINT design process. At the end of the program you’ll showcase your product at the Design Expo to industry representatives (such as Chevron and Micron) and Berkeley Engineering faculty.

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