UC Berkeley's "Master of Advanced Study in Engineering Degree Preview" course showcases some of the elite faculty and advanced instruction you'll experience when you join the MAS-E degree program. The course introduces you to the innovative MAS-E program and its career-focused concentration areas, giving you a short preview of selected degree course content.

Why pursue the MAS-E degree? Designed for part-time, self-paced study, the MAS-E program gives you the ability to complete your master’s without putting your career on pause. Learn on your schedule with courses across four distinct concentrations (Infrastructure, energy, and the environment; Advanced manufacturing and materials; Electronics and systems engineering; Robotics and controls), providing you with extended skill sets across different types of engineering. Through the program, you will learn from and interact with the elite faculty at Berkeley Engineering to develop the critical knowledge and technical skills you need to succeed at the highest levels in your career.

In this module, you'll learn about the Master of Advanced Study in Engineering degree program, and get your first "preview" of content from the course "Engineering a Net-Zero Carbon Future." Here's the module description from the course: "This module, tailored for individuals interested in the clean energy industry, serves as an essential introduction to the course. We delve into the obstacles encountered during the transition to clean energy, providing an overview of the challenges related to urbanization, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, extreme events, climate equity & environmental justice, and the economic opportunities. As professionals in this field, it's critical to be aware of these challenges and understand their implications to develop innovative and sustainable solutions that address the pressing environmental and economic challenges of our time."
