U.S. News ranks Berkeley’s undergrad engineering program No. 3 in the nation - Berkeley Engineering
The college remains the top public program

This just in: We remain the No. 3 undergraduate engineering program, according to U.S. News and World Report’s annual rankings!
That means UC Berkeley Engineering holds onto our title as top public program, tying with Georgia Institute of Technology (also a public university). 🏆

Eugene Jarvis (B.S.’76 EECS) is a certified game changer — as in, a pioneer of the arcade gaming space!
His storied career got its start in Birge Hall, next to the Campanile. It was in the basement where he got his first taste of video games, specifically 1962’s Spacewar!

"Engineering is more than design. It is a way to heal, to help and to make a difference. My goal is to use technology to fill what is missing, restore what is broken and create tools that help hearts and lives feel whole again.” — Nikolai Seva (MEng’25 ME) on his adaptive ski prosthetic #VoicesOfBE
