NSBE | NCSU Chapter

The National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) was founded in 1975 by concerned African-American college students, known as the "Chicago Six," at Purdue University. Since then, it has grown to become the largest student-managed organization in the United States, with over 31,000 members worldwide. NSBE is committed to stimulating student interest in engineering, increasing minority representation in the field, promoting advanced degrees and professional engineering registrations, raising public awareness, and advocating for Black engineers' careers.

​

NSBE offers a range of benefits, including leadership training, professional development, mentoring programs, and career placement services. With over 300 collegiate, 75 professional, and 75 pre-college chapters, NSBE is guided by an executive board comprising college students and engineering professionals. Beyond the U.S., NSBE's impact reaches countries worldwide, fostering a network of Black engineers, scientists, and technologists through its international operations.
