The National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) is an engineering student group which supports engineering students in their professional development. Every action the club takes is directed by the National Organization's mission statement: "to increase the number of culturally responsible Black engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally and positively impact the community". In addition to professional development, NSBE participates in community service and leisure activities. The group also participates in the annual Zone, Regional and National NSBE conventions.
