About T-PREP

T-PREP's First Cohort Summer 2013

T-PREP began in the summer of 2013 and was designed by Tiffany Reardon who has spent the past 20 years running programs to support transfer students in STEM.

There are very few programs like T-PREP which specifically serve incoming engineering transfer students from community colleges. T-PREP began with just 30 students and now the program has served nearly 400 students. Alumni from the program have gone on to pursue graduate degrees, become industry leaders and innovators in the start up world. Regardless of where T-PREP alums go they are always a part of the T-PREP Family.

There are three main thrusts of Berkeley’s Transfer Pre-Engineering Program:

Academic Component: T-PREP students will attend primer seminars based on coursework. Participants will make valuable connections with other incoming transfer students and T-PREP alumni.
Professional Development Component: T-PREP students will be ready to hit the ground running for fall career fairs and find out what it takes to get into graduate school. Landing a dream job is a journey and it starts with T-PREP!
Design Component: T-PREP students will work with engineering Professor Scott Moura in the Jacobs Institute of Design Innovation. Working with a team, students will create a prototype using the SPRINT design process. At the end of the program they’ll showcase the team’s product at the Design Expo to industry representatives and Berkeley Engineering faculty.
