Master of Development Engineering at UC Berkeley

“I chose the Master of Development Engineering (with a concentration in AI/Data analytics) because it sits at the intersection of international development, entrepreneurship, and technology, which are areas I’m really interested in. With my background in economics and focus on development issues, I wanted a program that looks at real, deployable solutions in places where resources and infrastructure are limited and the DevEng program does just that!” - Kamilah Idris current MDevEng student
