Courses

The Master of Advanced Study in Engineering (MAS-E) combines interdisciplinary concentrations, flexible electives, and applied technical learning to create a highly customizable Berkeley Engineering master’s degree for working professionals.

Students build technical depth within one of three emerging engineering concentrations while expanding their expertise through electives spanning AI and machine learning, robotics, advanced manufacturing, software engineering, optimization, resilient infrastructure, energy systems, human-centered design, and more.

Designed for professionals navigating a rapidly evolving engineering landscape, the MAS-E curriculum supports both specialized expertise and broader cross-disciplinary technical fluency — helping students adapt, grow, and advance alongside emerging technologies and industries.

All courses are academically rigorous and developed by Berkeley Engineering faculty and lecturers working at the forefront of engineering research, innovation, and industry transformation. Courses are fully online and designed for self-paced learning within an academic semester, allowing students to continue advancing in their careers while pursuing their degree.

The result is a flexible, future-focused engineering education tailored to each student’s professional goals and technical interests.

Interdisciplinary concentrations

The MAS-E degree program offers three interdisciplinary concentrations:

1. AI/ML, Robotics, and Controls (AIRC)
2. Energy, Infrastructure & the Environment (EIE)
3. Advanced Electronics Manufacturing & Materials (AEMM)

Note: If you entered the program before Spring 2026 you are still eligible to complete one of the previously offered concentrations instead.

Students elect a concentration to focus their studies; each concentration has eight required courses. Students then choose 14 electives, and finish up with a 2-unit capstone course.

1. Concentration (8 units): 8 required units specific to the concentration – including one of either ENGIN 202A or ENGIN 203.
2. Electives (14 units): 14 units from any part of the MAS-E course catalog.
3. Interdisciplinary Capstone Project (2 units): Students will integrate cutting-edge knowledge and technical skills to address an interdisciplinary engineering challenge.
