Enrollment
in UC Berkeley's Management of Technology (MOT)
program continues to soar at a rate of about 20 percent
year over the past three years. The MOT Program, a joint
effort of the College of Engineering, the Haas School
of Business, and the School of Information Management
and Systems is designed to immerse students in the business
of technology to prime them for success in industry.
"With over 1,400 enrollments and 50 MOT courses, Berkeley's
MOT program is by far the largest program of its type in
the US," says Andrew Isaacs, executive director of
MOT.
In September, MOT co-sponsored the Haas School of Business's
sixth annual Leading Edge Technology Conference, bringing
together students, business leaders, entrepreneurs, technologists,
and academics in an open forum to present and debate the
technologies that are reshaping the marketplace of today
and tomorrow. This year's keynote address was delivered
by W.J. (Jerry) Sanders III, founder and Chairman of the
Board of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., a leading US-based
seminconductor manufacturer.
Meanwhile, each year the MOT lecture series brings a stellar
line-up of speakers to the UC Berkeley campus to share
their insights and experiences in the technology industry.
This fall's line up includes:
- October
