The UC Berkeley Fung Fellowship

A one semester program, offered in both Fall and Spring, Fellows work in student teams on projects that span ~12 weeks, closely collaborating with partner organizations to explore real-world public health or sustainability challenges through innovative technology solutions.

We believe engineering isn’t just a technical skill set—it’s a creative approach to problem-solving that becomes more powerful when diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and areas of study converge.

As a Fellow, you’ll learn to apply design thinking, systems analysis, and technological innovation to real societal challenges, working alongside community organizations and industry partners who need fresh thinking and bold solutions. Whether you’re studying humanities, social sciences, the arts, business, or STEM, the Fellowship expands your creative capacity to envision, prototype, and build change.

This isn’t engineering for engineers alone. It’s engineering thinking, entrepreneurial creativity, and innovation practice for changemakers from every corner of campus.
