Thank you for your interest in joining the NJ Beta Chapter of Tau Beta Pi!
“Tau Beta Pi was created, “to mark in a fitting manner those who have conferred honor upon their Alma Mater by distinguished scholarship and exemplary character as undergraduates in engineering, or by their attainments as alumni in the field of engineering, and to foster a spirit of liberal culture in engineering colleges.” But Tau Beta Pi offers more than just another line on your resume. Since we offer many opportunities to become involved with our chapter and the community, being a member of Tau Beta Pi displays character in addition to scholarship.” [from Iowa Alpha]
