Pre-Engineering Partnerships







 

The mission of Cal Pre-Engineering Partnerships (PEP) was to provide opportunities for middle and high school students to become eligible for higher education in engineering and to be prepared to complete baccalaureate degrees in mathematics-based fields including engineering and computer science.

Cal PEP accomplished this by working closely with a variety of partners to meet their respective needs. These partners include students and their parents; 6-12 teachers, counselors, and administrators; community colleges; public and independent colleges and universities; regional non-profit organizations; corporations and foundations; local and state legislators; and federal agencies.

Due to grant funding cycles ending and state budget cuts, the Cal PEP program will be inactive during the 2008 academic year.

There will be no further PEP Saturday Academies.

The Pre-Engineering Summer Academy may be announced in January, 2009

Cal PEP ran a portfolio of academic enrichment activities, including a PEP Summer Academy on campus for six weeks from June to August for rising 6th through 11th graders, PEP Saturday Academies during the school year for eight weeks each semester for 6th through 11th graders, a tentative engineering faculty seminar series on campus for high school science teachers and students they invite, ADEPT Graduate Engineering Fellows in area Middle and High School classrooms developing Pre-Engineering Curriculum Modules, a proposed Summer Pre-Engineering Camp (SPEC) for rising 11th graders from California high schools, parent programs, teacher professional development sessions, and student visits to UC Berkeley.

Cal PEP targeted its activities at students with educational and economic limitations and schools with low eligibility rates for higher education. Cal PEP had direct programs with schools in Berkeley, Emeryville, and Oakland Unified School Districts. Cal PEP is funded by the College of Engineering, the UC Berkeley campus, and generous corporate and foundation donors including the Bechtel Foundation and the Emery Ed Fund.
