National Society of Black Engineers

The National Society for Black Engineers (NSBE) stands as one of the largest student-governed organizations based in the U.S. Founded in 1975, NSBE champions the dreams and ambitions of collegiate and pre-collegiate students, as well as technical professionals, in engineering and technology fields. Boasting more than 700 chapters and a membership exceeding 24,000 around the globe, NSBE advances a critical mission: “to increase the number of culturally responsible Black Engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally, and positively impact the community.”

Today, NSBE is celebrating 50 years in existence. As DeMatha plans to open its Arts & Engineering Building this year, a NSBE Jr. chapter, along with the Robotics, Engineering and Cybersecurity Clubs, is another opportunity to champion STEM on campus and provide students with access to learning opportunities and leadership development.
