Overview

The National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) is a student managed,

non-profit organization that is committed to recruiting, retaining,

and motivating its membership to successfully complete a college

education. It is an organized network of support for individuals who are

typically underrepresented in the engineering and science community.

By implementing programs that promote academic excellence, personal

growth, and career development, NSBE continues to increase the number

of professionals who are committed to community development and

prepared to successfully compete in technical surroundings. Since its

creation in 1975, the Society has grown to represent over 15,000 members

and 200 colleges and universities nationwide.

Mission Statement

NSBE’s mission is to increase the number of culturally responsible Black

engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally, and positively

impact the community .

Our Vision

The NSBE experience empowers members to reach their full potential.

We encourage our membership to continue the legacy while maintaining

leadership roles in NSBE, Black communities, and other professional

organizations. We instill pride and add value to our members, which encourages

them to want to give back to NSBE in order to produce a continuum

of success. NSBE sets a standard of excellence in providing services

to science and engineering students. We maximize our potential

collectively to facilitate the development of quality Black engineers. We

are advancing a cultural paradigm, which inspires the Black community

to achieve greater engineering and scientific feats than ever before.
