February 2022

2/1/2022

 
February is Black History Month, a time to recognize and celebrate the achievements and contributions of Black and African American folks in the United States. This month we would like to highlight the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) and the work they do locally and nationally:

  • Mission: “To increase the number of culturally responsible Black Engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally and positively impact the community.”
  • NSBE was founded in 1974 by 6 students and their professor at Purdue University. Since then, it has grown to over 790 chapters and to 30,000 members at its height. 
  • Although it started out as a collegiate organization, two other branches - NSBE Professional and NSBE Jr. - serve engineers wherever they are at in their journey.
  • NSBE provides its collegiate and professional members with leadership and technical development and training through webinars, panels, workshops and other events; access to career fairs; career mentoring; and opportunity for scholarships/fellowships among other things
  • There are three local chapters for those interested in joining and getting involved: San Francisco Bay Area, Silicon Valley, and Sacramento
