Celebrating 15 Years of Engineering Education Innovation
This year, the Fung Institute celebrates our 15th year of igniting academic, community, and industry collaboration to graduate diverse cohorts of students as leaders and innovators.
Fung Institute: Where Engineering Meets Leadership & Purpose
The Fung Institute for Engineering Leadership at UC Berkeley College of Engineering—ranked among the top three engineering schools in the U.S.—was founded on a bold recognition: as technology advanced at unprecedented speed, the world faced an urgent need for engineers who could also lead. In 2010, philanthropist and Berkeley alumnus Coleman Fung launched the Institute to close this gap, integrating rigorous engineering education with leadership, entrepreneurship, and a commitment to social good. Today, building on 15 years of success, we are extending our mission beyond engineers to include students and technical leaders across disciplines, preparing changemakers with the leadership, collaboration, and problem-solving skills to tackle society’s most pressing challenges.

We’re developing the next generation of engineering and organizational leaders, equipping them to drive transformative change across technology and society.
