Mission

"To increase the number of culturally responsible Black Engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally and positively impact the community."

Vision

"We envision a world in which engineering is a mainstream word in homes and communities of color, and all Black students can envision themselves as engineers. In this world, Blacks exceed parity in entering engineering fields, earning degrees, and succeeding professionally."

About NSBE

The National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) was founded in 1975 by six Black engineering students at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. Concerned about the underrepresentation of Black engineers and the high dropout rate among Black engineering students, they created a student organization to address these issues. The first chapter, originally named the Society of Black Engineers (SBE), quickly gained momentum and expanded to other universities. In 1976, it was renamed the National Society of Black Engineers and incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Today, NSBE is one of the largest student-run organizations in the U.S., with over 600 chapters and more than 24,000 members worldwide.
