Invest in Your Engineers and Watch Them Build What’s Next

Engineering and technology industries are evolving rapidly. Across sectors, organizations are navigating accelerating advances in AI, automation, advanced manufacturing, energy systems, resilient infrastructure, and intelligent technologies — all while facing mounting pressure around talent retention, workforce development, and technical competitiveness.

Staying ahead requires more than hiring new talent. It requires investing in the engineers already driving your organization forward.

The UC Berkeley Master of Advanced Study in Engineering (MAS-E) is designed to help companies strengthen technical expertise across their workforce through a flexible, fully online Berkeley Engineering master’s degree built for working professionals.

Engineers can continue advancing in their careers while developing specialized knowledge in emerging engineering fields critical to the future of industry.

A Flexible Berkeley Engineering Degree for Working Professionals

MAS-E combines advanced technical coursework, interdisciplinary learning, and flexible online delivery to support engineers balancing professional responsibilities with graduate-level education.

Students build expertise through concentrations in:

• AI/ML, Robotics, and Controls
• Advanced Electronics Manufacturing & Materials
• Energy, Infrastructure & the Environment

The program’s broader elective curriculum also allows engineers to expand technical fluency across areas such as software engineering, optimization, resilient systems, human-centered design, advanced manufacturing, energy systems, and engineering leadership.

Courses are developed and taught by Berkeley Engineering faculty working at the forefront of research, innovation, and industry transformation.

Why Employers Support Advanced Engineering Education

Organizations that invest in advanced technical education often see long-term benefits across recruitment, retention, innovation, and workforce capability.

Supporting employees through graduate engineering education can help organizations:

• Strengthen technical expertise in emerging engineering domains
• Improve employee retention and professional engagement
• Support workforce adaptability amid technological change
• Increase organizational innovation capacity
• Build internal leadership and systems-level engineering capability
• Expand expertise without disrupting workforce continuity

Designed for Workforce Flexibility

MAS-E is fully online and designed for self-paced learning within an academic semester, allowing engineers to continue contributing professionally while pursuing advanced education.

This flexible structure enables organizations to support employee growth without requiring workforce interruption or relocation.

Tuition and Employer Sponsorship

Tuition for the MAS-E program is $1,750 per unit, for a total of $42,000 for the 24-unit degree, plus applicable campus fees.*

Students pay tuition per course as they progress through the program.

Many employers choose to support participation through tuition reimbursement or professional development programs as part of broader workforce development and retention strategies.
