Industry Engagement
Professional Development
BPEC members receive access to professional development material, including tutorials on emerging power/energy technologies. In addition to in-person attendance on campus, an unlimited number of participants can attend virtually and access recorded material.
Course Development
We work closely with industry members to ensure that the undergraduate and graduate power/energy courses at UC Berkeley align with industry needs. BPEC members are encouraged to partner with us to develop laboratory modules and other course material that help prepare BPEC graduates for an exciting career in the power and energy field.
Recruiting
Graduate student internships at membership companies are encouraged and facilitated on a summer or semester basis. This provides valuable technology transfer and recruitment benefits. Internship and full-time position postings at membership companies are distributed to all BPEC students, and member companies are provided with a detailed resume book, student project listing, and expected graduation dates for all students and post-docs.
