Professional Development Workshops

New at the College of Environmental Design this year are professional development workshops offered both to UC Berkeley students (within and outside the college) and industry professionals in the design and planning fields. These workshops are geared to equip students to meet the demands of the ever-expanding, interdisciplinary field of environmental design through the introduction of new computer technologies and software, the development of leadership and presentation skills, and the explanation of new professional standards, regulations, and policies.
