NSBE
National Society of Black Engineers
Mission
NSBE's mission is to increase
the number of culturally responsible Black engineers who excel
academically, succeed professionally and positively impact the
community.
NSBE is comprised of more than 270 chapters on college and university
campuses, 75 Alumni Extension chapters nationwide and 75 Pre-College
chapters. These chapters are geographically divided into six regions.
The objectives of the organization
are to:
Stimulate and develop student interest in the various engineering
disciplines.
Strive to increase the number of minority students studying
engineering at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Encourage members to seek advanced degrees in engineering or
related fields and to obtain professional engineering registrations.
Encourage and advise minority youth in their pursuit of an
engineering career.
Promote public awareness of engineering and the opportunities for
Blacks and other minorities in that profession.
Function as a representative body on issues and developments that
affect the careers of Black Engineers.
New and innovative project ideas are generated and implemented
throughout the year on the chapter, regional and national levels.
Some of NSBE's present activities include tutorial
programs, group study sessions, high school/junior high outreach
programs, technical seminars and workshops, a national communications
network (NSBENET), two national magazines (NSBE Magazine and the NSBE
Bridge), an internal newsletter, a professional newsletter (The Career
Engineer), resume books, career fairs, awards, banquets and an annual
national convention.
