National Society of Black Engineers

**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. **Who We Are** A beacon of excellence, the National Society of 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.
