National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE)

NSBE’s programs and initiatives are designed to inspire, educate, and empower students and professionals in STEM. From K–12 outreach and collegiate development to professional advancement and advocacy, each initiative creates pathways to access, equity, and lasting impact across all communities. The Santa Clara University Chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers is open to all students who support the mission of 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 serve younger students in enhancing their learning 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 K-12 students in an engineering workshop, student panels, and tours of our campus so that they can learn about engineering and life at SCU.
