Mission

The National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) at Washington State University is a student-run organization committed to increasing the number of culturally responsible Black engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally, and positively impact the community.

Our chapter provides a welcoming environment that fosters leadership, mentorship, and personal growth for students of all backgrounds and academic levels. We believe in empowering our members through academic support, professional development opportunities, and networking events.

Throughout the year, we host various activities such as workshops, and guest speaker events to prepare our members for successful careers in engineering and related fields. We also offer programs to engage and inspire the next generation of engineers.

Whether you are just beginning your engineering journey or seeking to further develop your professional skills, we invite you to join NSBE at Washington State University and become an integral part of our mission-driven community. Together, we strive to create a more diverse and inclusive engineering workforce.

Values

Cultural Competency: We embrace diverse cultural backgrounds, honoring the unique heritage of our members while fostering an inclusive environment open to all. This broadens our perspective and strengthens community and professional interactions.

Mentorship: We value mentorship for its reciprocal benefits, fostering growth in both mentors and mentees. By guiding and supporting newcomers, we help them reach their full potential and build a stronger community.

Integrity: We uphold integrity by promoting honest work that benefits those who come after us. Our mentorship network supports this value by providing accountability and encouraging ethical growth.

Grit: We encourage resilience and determination in our members. In challenging times, we focus on perseverance and hard work to achieve greater success and reach higher goals.
