UC Berkeley Engineering professors across multiple departments are rethinking undergraduate education by weaving artificial intelligence tools directly into core engineering courses. Supported by funding from the Center for Advancing Women in Technology (CAWIT) and a campus initiative, these pilot projects aim to help students learn to use AI responsibly and effectively within their disciplines—not just study AI theory.
Rather than creating new AI-only classes, the focus is on enhancing traditional engineering coursework by integrating AI as a practical tool for problem solving, modeling, and analysis. Faculty will develop and refine their approaches over the coming year, with plans to implement and evaluate the new AI-based components in the 2026–27 academic year.
