National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE)

Organization Description

The National Society of Black Engineers is focused on increasing the number of culturally responsible black engineers who succeed academically, excel professionally, and positively impact the community. Our chapter works to support our members while also utilizing our resources and connections to younger students learn about engineering. We host general meetings where we invite professional engineers to our members and discuss internship/job opportunities. These meetings also include professional development workshops (resume writing, elevator pitch, interviewing skills, etc.) to help our members find job opportunities in their field. Additionally, we have one or two social events a quarter to help build relationships within our organization. Every quarter we host an outreach event where we lead younger African-American students in an engineering workshop, student panels, and tours of our campus so that they can learn about engineering and life at SCU.
