The UC Berkeley Engineering Leadership Professional Program (ELPP) is designed for top performing engineers, scientists and engineering managers who are seeking to develop professional and leadership skills to contribute to their companies at a higher level.
Program participants include top performer engineering professionals nominated by their companies and outstanding self-nominated individuals. Current ELPP participants come from top-name Silicon Valley firms, including Applied Materials, Cisco, Facebook, Lam Research, National Semiconductor, NetApp, and Yahoo!.
UC Berkeley offers two tracks for professional leadership education: business leadership (through the MBA program) and engineering leadership. The traditional MBA may not be the best option for engineers and scientists seeking to advance within a technical career or within R&D management. The UC Berkeley Engineering Leadership Professional Program is a designed for working professionals and can be completed in approximately six months in weekly three-hour evening sessions.
After completing the program, participants will be better prepared to:
• Expertly manage technical teams,
• Influence top-level strategy as a technical lead or senior manager,
• Amplify the inherent value of R&D.
• Provide leadership within their firms and to the greater engineering profession.
