Pioneers in Engineering (also referred to as PiE) is a UC Berkeley student-run organization that aims to encourage STEM in many underserved high schools located within the San Francisco Bay Area by providing raw materials and manufactured parts, as well as guidance from trained mentors, necessary to help students build a functional game-worthy robot to compete in an eight-week-long robotics competition hosted by UC Berkeley Pioneers in Engineering student staff.

History
Pioneers in Engineering was first founded in 2008 by Tau Beta Pi ____(by who?)_____. It received significant support from the UC Berkeley engineering honor society; however, the program evolved into its own organization in ______ and has attracted the support and participation of many other UC Berkeley organizations.

Operations
In the fall semester, in preparation for the PiE season which occurs in the spring semester of every school year, designs for a robot base kit are visualized and developed by UC Berkeley students. New methods of production for robotic parts are discussed and necessary PiE equipment are purchased. Weekly/biweekly worksessions and design review meetings are held discussing new developments in the following interconnected groups: ___ etc___
 * Mentorship
 * External
 * IT
 * KitDev
 * Mechanical
 * Electrical
 * Software

Parts manufacture and purchasing takes place following a tentative timeline outlined to each group.

Students and mentors
A UC Berkeley DeCal course is taught where college students are trained to become mentors. Mentors are paired with each participating student team according to shared time availabilities, ensuring ample meet-up times.

PiE Season
The base robotics kit is given to each student team that is participating in the PiE robotics competition.
 * Kickoff


 * Game Day


 * Scrimmage


 * Final Competition

hosting an eight-week robotics competition for student teams to compete in.

Provide a fully-fledged robotics kit designed and developed in-house, as well as trained college student mentors for each team.
