Below are four such opportunities:
== Strategy #1: Introducing design thinking to multidisciplinary students ==
== Strategy #1: Introducing Many non-design students from UC Berkeley do not have the opportunity to learn the design process or gain design thinking skills. This process and these skills are very important in real life and give students an advantage in jobs and in their future. Students from most majors and students who don't seek out this knowledge are at a disadvantage. This strategy aims to provide students from multidisciplinary backgrounds design thinking skills through The Invention Corps of Berkeley. Students from multiple different majors and fields that normally wouldn't get the design experience would be taught so and furthermore use it in projects paired with professors and PhD students ==here at Berkeley.

1. Create a club on campus called The Invention Corps of Berkeley that focuses on design thinking and innovative technology '''(BY: 12/2016)'''
== Strategy #2: Forming relationships between students and professors ==
Project leads: Precious ListanaOne of the biggest resources on campus that connects students and professors is the Undergraduate Research Apprentice Program (URAP), James Zamorabut most students do not optimize this resource. Students want to get exposed to application-based opportunities, Alex Kamgar and one way to do that is to collaborate with professors & Sydney Zachariahgraduate students through the Invention Corps of Berkeley.

1. Organizing a Professor Pitch Night where students from The Invention Corps of Berkeley are able to pick semester projects based on the professor pitches '''(BY: 02/2017)'''
== Strategy #3: Creating modular-segmented classes that guide freshmen to multiple disciplines ==
Overview:Students coming into college often have a hard time choosing their major. As 17-18 year olds, it can be extremely stressful and difficult to choose the path they want to take that will affect their careers and success in such a huge way. Often times, students don’t have a well-rounded view of the majors on campus; for example, students who are an intended biology major may never have been exposed to any sort of engineering class that may impact their decision on their major. Therefore, it is important that students are able to experience the different majors on campus before making a decision.
Students To address this problem, we have designed a hard time anticipating their maor in collegestrategy that designs modular-segmented class to guide freshmen to multiple disciplines. This class is to provide students with course would outline the introduction to impacted course work of various majors on campus. Each week, there would be different professors prerequisites, possible careers that would Every weekutilize each major and corresponding salaries, they and what the day-to-day life would participate be in each of those careers (i.e. hours, amount of work, freedom for a personal life, etc.) In designing such a course, students are able to be exposed to a different major few of the most popular majors on campus and can therefore make a more well-informed decision on their future path.
Project leads: Alex KamgarThis strategy focuses on delivering students the knowledge of various fields and majors. The goal of this course is to reduce the number of students who switch their majors during sophomore and junior year, and provide a holistic approach to choosing majors.
