General

Tau Beta Pi collegiate chapters elect men and women who have distinguished themselves with outstanding scholarship and character.

Distinguished Scholarship

High academic achievement as a student, or eminent professional achievement, is the first eligibility requirement for election to Tau Beta Pi. Responsible students in the upper eighth of their pre-junior or junior engineering classes or in the upper fifth of their senior class are eligible for consideration for membership into the Ohio Beta chapter. Through its high academic standards, Tau Beta Pi encourages all students to strive for academic excellence, and it holds up as models of professional excellence those few individuals who are invited to membership because of their distinction in engineering achievement.

Exemplary Character

The second eligibility requirement for Tau Beta Pi membership is good character. A Tau Bate has personal integrity, a wide range of interests, adaptability, and participates unselfishly in community and volunteer activities.
