Earthquake Engineering Research Institute at Berkeley

The EERI Berkeley Student Chapter is promoting students' education regarding earthquake risk reduction through organized seminars with various invited lecturers from the fields of earthquake engineering, including professionals and researchers. The chapter promotes minimizing the gap between the community’s understanding of the impacts of earthquakes and the profession's assumptions on the acceptable losses after a seismic event. This is done through community outreach programs for children and the general population. The Chapter is also proud to include the undergraduate seismic design competition group that represents UC Berkeley in the annual EERI seismic design competition.
