Who We Are
The National Society of Black Engineers has birthed hundreds of businesses, trained thousands of corporate leaders, graduated tens of thousands of engineers, and engaged hundreds of thousands of K-12 students in STEM education over our 47-year history, both nationally and abroad. In short, NSBE members, chapters, and supporters are dedicated to increasing the number of culturally responsible Black Engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally, and positively impact the community
Our Mission
The mission of the National Society of Black Engineers is "to increase the number of culturally responsible Black Engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally, and positively impact the community."
Our 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. Where people of color can enter engineering fields, earn degrees, and succeed professionally.
We need to internalize this idea of excellence. Not many folks spend a lot of time trying to be excellent.
