Message From Your Chair Message From Your Chair

"It was only a number of years ago that I was considering dropping out of college because of poor grades. Sometimes I think back. What if I never joined NSBE? What if I didn’t have mentors to push me? What if I gave up? It’s simple; I wouldn’t be where I am today. I wouldn’t be a college graduate nearing the completion of my second degree. I wouldn’t be in the Operations Leadership Program at UTC. I wouldn’t be National Chair of the National Society of Black Engineers. I wouldn’t be the “Cal” that members are now proud to call “Chairman”. "

Technical Expertise Services

NSBE members in college, graduate school and those working as technical professionals have skill sets that can be used to enhance the community through NSBE TORCH programming. Technical Expertise Services seeks to match NSBE members with community based organizations that have specific engineering or project management needs. This can be very broad but examples would be device enhancements to help the disabled, solar power cell installation for a home for a family in need, or strategic planning advice for a small non-profit. This area of TORCH lends itself to expanding current partnerships with universities (senior design projects), companies with community endeavors, and other well-known organizations such as Habitat for Humanity.
 

Focus Areas


Service & Training
The Service & Training element is the primary area of Technical Expertise Services. Members should provide that utilizes the members’ technical talent to directly benefit the community, and paired with an educational component to leave the community capable of maintaining anything that was provided on their own.

Roundtables
The roundtable element will serve members of the local community who are interested in hearing from subject matter experts and technical professionals. The roundtables are intended to address technical and/or social issues of interest to our community, for example, the NSBE Environmental Engineering SIG could sponsor a roundtable on Air Quality and Pollution in Urban Cities.

Career Services
Career Services will span college counseling services to early-career advisory services. IPTs supporting Career Service projects will focus on resumes, strategic career plans, job searches, and available hiring and career development resources. This could mean sponsoring a seminar on how to write an effective resume, or assisting members of the community in conducting an on-line job search.
