About NSBE Atlanta AE
The formation of the National Society of Black Engineers
- Alumni Extension (NSBE-AE) dates back to 1980, when NSBE alumni
presented a proposal to the NSBE student membership to include this
sector in the organization. The proposal, as it reflects the origins
of the current alumni infrastructure, was developed in 1984, and
formalized in 1985. At the 1985 National Conference, the NSBE membership
approved the formation of an Alumni Task Force. The task force was
assembled to design NSBE-AE by the 1988 NSBE National Conference.
During this three year period, the views of NSBE students and alumni
from across the nation were articulated, leading to the derivation
of the NSBE-AE Operating Guidelines. In March 1988, at NSBE's 14th
Annual National Conference, the NSBE membership approved the proposal
to include the Alumni Extension as an operating entity of the National
Society of Black Engineers.
The purpose of the NSBE-AE is to support NSBE in
a way that:
- Develops and enhances NSBE programs
- Increases technical awareness
- Encourages scholastic achievement, and
- Stimulates enthusiasm in the Black engineering
community
These elements promote technical expertise, professionalism,
and fellowship among Black engineers.
The Mission
NSBE's mission is to increase the number of culturally responsible
Black engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally and
positively impact the community.
As an alumni extension, our goal is to assist the
aims and purposes of the undergraduates of NSBE and the professional
development of alumni. The National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE)
is a non-profit 501(c)(3) association owned and managed by its members.
NSBE offers members professional development, leadership training,
mentoring opportunities, community service and outreach programs.
The organization is dedicated to the success of African American
engineering students and professionals.
