With nearly 16,000 members, the National Society of Black Engineers is one of the largest student-governed organizations in the country. Founded in 1975, NSBE now includes more than 500 chapters in the United States and abroad. NSBE’s mission is "to increase the number of culturally responsible Black engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally and positively impact the community."
As companies have adopted diversity and inclusion as important focuses within their organization, NSBE aids in providing their recruiting needs. Every year, a little more than 3,000 African Americans graduate with a 4-year degree in engineering while the graduating national average is approximately 80,000 a year. As we actively engage in increasing this number, we also look to place our members in organizations across the country to be valuable members of their team.
Whether you recruit at our six Fall Regional Conferences, the Professional Development Conference, or our Annual Convention, you are sure to find talent in our vault. We also welcome you to partner with us through other avenues of outreach and special programs. We look forward to a successful partnership with you.
