The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences recognizes corporations and other institutions which give to the Department $125,000 or more annually as Berkeley Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Affiliates (BEECSA) members.

Current BEECSA Members

Benefits

Each BEECSA member is offered the following privileges:

• Opportunity to have a Visiting Industrial Fellow (VIF) in the Department for one year as a regular member of a Department research team or group; research programs of mutual interest are encouraged. Additional visitors can be sent, for a gift of $55,000.
• Office space, telephone, and computer service for the Fellow. When the Fellow returns to her/his firm, s/he will have network or dial-up access to our systems to facilitate continued contact.
• Participation by the Fellow in departmental seminars and colloquia and attendance in any class in the Department (with the instructor's permission).
• Each BEECSA member may request an annual private research review meeting at Berkeley or the Affiliate's location, with a choice of topics selected from current research in the Department.
• Each BEECSA member receives full membership in the Industrial Liaison Program.

Procedure for Visiting Industrial Fellows

Visiting Fellows are nominated by individual BEECSA companies. The Department will accept nominees in a way that will insure balance in the programs and equitable visitation privileges for all Fellows. Non BEECSA members can send a VIF one time only for a gift of $55,000. Subsequently the company would be required to join at the BEECSA level.
