Tau Beta Pi

Organization Description: Tau Beta Pi is universally recognized as the preeminent engineering honor society that students of all engineering disciplines strive to join. Founded in 1885 at Lehigh University, Tau Beta Pi is the oldest engineering honor society in the United States. There are now chapters in 250 US colleges and universities, 47 active alumni chapters in 16 districts across the country, and a total initiated membership of approximately 607,000.

The Texas Xi chapter was officially registered on February 15, 2020. Our chapter strives to promote future growth by nurturing integrity, character and service. As a new chapter, our current objective is to increase awareness of the chapter on campus, through professional, service and recreational events.

Mission and Purpose: As the only academic honor society that confers recognition on individuals from all engineering disciplines, Tau Beta Pi:

• Recognizes those who have conferred honor upon their Alma Maters by distinguished scholarship and exemplary character -- as students in engineering or by their attainments as alumni in the field of engineering
• Provides leadership and professional development training for engineering students and alumni members.
• Promotes lifelong alumnus member involvement and cultivates a community of dedicated high achievers
