About Us
Tau Beta Pi
Tau Beta Pi is the oldest engineering honor society in the nation and the only honor society representing the entire engineering profession. Members experience a wide array of activities and opportunities throughout the year. TBP emphasizes scholarship; personal character; and service to the profession, community, and college. Every semester, we invite the top fifth of seniors and the top eighth of juniors from all engineering majors to seek membership.
Primary Requirements
Tau Beta Pi’s two main requirements for membership are: Outstanding Scholarship and Exemplary Character. Only students meeting both will be invited to membership.
Professional Development
TBP provides many opportunities for students to develop their professional side while still in school. All candidates have their resume individually critiqued by TBP’s professional development committee. Additionally, members’ resumes are put into a resume book for our corporate sponsors. TBP also helps students hone their professional relations skills through interview workshops.
Opportunity
Joining Tau Beta Pi means becoming part of an organization that is bigger than any one person or university. With 257 chapters and over 650,000 members worldwide, Tau Bates initiate into an active network of information and support.
Fun
Tau Beta Pi loves to have fun! Throughout the semester there are many fun events to de-stress and take a break from studying while also meeting new people and building your network. Everything from ultimate frisbee to karaoke is welcome here.
Community
Tau Bates are members for life. Tau Beta Pi offers a chance for students to work and socialize with their fellow engineers outside of a school setting and to form lasting bonds with their peers.
