EECS 16AB are unique courses designed especially to introduce students to the curriculum in the EECS department. Taken by most L&S CS and EECS students during their first year, these courses introduce topics from many of the upper-division courses, with a focus on building a foundation for machine learning and design principles. We will discuss the curriculum and what it takes to succeed.
After watching our major information sessions, join our CS and EECS advising teams for Q&A. Ask your questions over live chat!
Come to an open discussion with current students about the EECS and L&S Computer Science programs.

The Association of Women in Electrical Engineering & Computer Science (AWE) invites you to our virtual panel. Here you can learn about what it's like to be a Berkeley CS or EECS student, understand what our organization does, find out about great opportunities, meet other prospective Cal students, and meet current women in CS and EECS at Cal. Join the AWE Facebook group for new admits to connect with one another as well as with current students in EE&CS.
RSVP for this event is required. Please sign up by Saturday, April 11th to receive a Zoom link for this event.
"What hath God wrought?" This was the first message sent on the first telegraph, by Samuel Morse in 1844. Since then, continuous innovations in electrical communications have brought people closer together, even when we might physically be far apart. Join the Eta Kappa Nu (HKN), the EECS Honor Society, in this live online demo! We'll build simple analog and digital circuits for optical communication, talk about the devices that make them work, and use software-defined radios to showcase some cool techniques in signal processing. Questions and audience participation welcome!
Join Eta Kappa Nu (HKN), the EECS Honor Society, for a student panel. Questions and audience participation welcome!
Students from Upsilon Pi Epsilon, the computer science honors society, will be presenting their projects from upper-division CS classes. We will have a main presentation introducing each student and project, and then everyone is welcome to break off and speak to ech student about the project. The main presentation will run every 30-45 minutes. Feel free to ask any questions about Berkeley CS, various classes, daily life, or anything! See you there!
The UC Berkeley Undergraduate Graphics Group (UCBUGG) is a passionate group of students who want to introduce our fellow peers to the art of creating a 3D-animated short film. Every semester, we teach students of various backgrounds, levels, and experiences the various stages of the animation pipeline: from concept and pre-production, all the way to a final product. In our presentation, we will guide you through the magic and art of creating an animated film followed by a live-demo and Q&A!
Pre-Recorded Video Introduction
The UC Berkeley GamesCrafters research and development group was formed by Dr. Dan Garcia in 2001 to explore the fertile area of combinatorial and computational game theory. At the core of the project is GAMESMAN, a system developed for solving, playing and analyzing two-person, abstract strategy games (e.g., Tic-Tac-Toe, or Chess).
See this page for more event information: http://gamescrafters.berkeley.edu/calday2020/
