The National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) is a 501(C)(3) non-profit association that is owned and managed by its members. The organization is dedicated to the academic and professional success of African-American engineering students and professionals. NSBE offers its members leadership training, professional development, mentoring opportunities, career placement services and more. NSBE is comprised of 242 collegiate, 70 professional and 82 pre-college active chapters nationwide and overseas. These chapters are geographically divided into six regions. NSBE is governed by an executive board of college students and engineering professionals and is operated by a professional staff in our World Headquarters located in Alexandria, VA. NSBE has accomplished more for Black engineering students than any other organization in the world. The same light that flows from the NSBE torch to students and professionals in the United States is also relevant for NSBE students in Africa, Europe, South America, Asia, Canada, Australia and the Caribbean. It is the goal of the Society to replicate its mission and vision in countries around the world, creating a global network of Black engineers, scientists and technologists.
At Columbia University, our NSBE chapter has established itself both as a premier pre-professional organization on campus and as an exceptional chapter in our Region. Our focal points include: quality over quantity, effective communication, engaging membership, and training future leaders. In the last four years, our membership has grown from 15 collegiate members to over 60. Each academic year, we organize and sponsor over 20 events designed to meet the cultural and professional needs of our members, as well as those of the underrepresented minority in the New York City area. In addition since 2008, more than 60% of our membership have received internships and/or job offers through our programming.
The Columbia University Chapter aligns its goals and activities with the NSBE mission by providing numerous opportunities for its members to stimulate their interests in the various engineering disciplines, thereby increasing the number of minority students studying math and science at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Our chapter strives to achieve this mission by encouraging members to attend conferences held throughout the year, culminating with the NSBE National Convention held each year in the spring.
