Mission, History, & VisionNSBE MISSION

NSBE’s mission is to increase the number of culturally responsible Black engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally and positively impact the community.

NSBE VISIONThe NSBE experience empowers every member to reach his or her full potential. We are encouraging our membership to continue the legacy while maintaining leadership roles in NSBE, Black communities, and other professional organizations. We instill pride and add value to our members, which cause them to want to give back to NSBE in order to produce a continuum of success. NSBE sets the standard of excellence in providing services to science and engineering students. We maximize our potential collectively to facilitate the development of quality Black engineers. We are advancing a cultural paradigm which inspires the Black community to achieve greater engineering and scientific feats then ever before.

NSBE HISTORYBack in 1971 on the campus of Purdue University, six young men decided to form an organization. Their goal was to assist in the retention of black engineering students as well as provide a support group for themselves. On a campus where the total number of black engineering students was less than 1% of the total student body and where there was only one black faculty member in the engineering department, these men formed the Society of Black Engineers (SBE).With the mentorship of that one black faculty member, Arthur Bond, a Ph.D. candidate in Purdue’s School of Electrical Engineering, John Logan, Brian Harris, George Smith, Edward Coleman, Anthony Harris, and Stan Kirtley, (all of which became known as the Chicago Six) were provided the encouragement needed to get the organization started.

In 1975 at the first national conference (which was held at the first national headquarters at Purdue University) 48 students representing 32 schools met and chose the organization’s national symbol, wrote a rough draft of the national constitution, divided the organization into six geographic regions, elected John Carson as the first national chairperson, and most importantly, selected a name for the group, the “National Society of Black Engineers”.

Today, the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) is the largest student-run organization in the country with well over 12,000 members NSBE has grown to prominence across the nation as a model organization which others have begun to emulate.

Esteemed NSBE Leaders,

As your 2009 Fall Regional Conference (FRC) Planning Chairperson, it is with great pleasure that I welcome you to this year’s FRC here at the fabulous Hyatt Regency Hotel Columbus in wonderful Columbus, OH. The theme of this year’s conference, “Engineering a Global Impact” marks a historical year for NSBE as we embark on our very first International Conference. It is with great charisma that we pay homage to the founders by increasing the number of culturally responsible black engineers.

As a diverse, talented group of individuals, it is essential that we become well-rounded in our skills and tools as we prepare for the future! This year’s workshop tracks are designed to match the national directives: Retention, International Development, Scholastic Achievement, and Economic Empowerment, so that we can arm our members with the competitive edge in what ever endeavors we seek!

Cultural Diversity: Why You? Why Now?, CollegiateIn a rapidly evolving global marketplace, economies, cultures and corporations are extending well beyond the boundaries of their countries of origin. The workers, thought leaders, entrepreneurs and others who will succeed in this bold new world must be culturally sensitive, culturally competent and culturally articulate. Long gone are the days when technical competence was the sole criterion for professional success. In an increasingly international and interconnected world, this session will help participants understand why cultural diversity is important to them and why now more so than ever.

Coded Language: A Discourse in Black English Vernacular, Collegiate & PCILanguage: it surrounds us every day. From verbal to non-verbal communication, language speaks volumes whether it can be heard or could be misconstrued. This workshop is designed to give a brief history in the structure of language; but to also discuss the mental and societal implications of language in regards to the structure of Black English Vernacular. This discussion, also, leads into the concepts and ideas behind code-shifting, explaining how navigating between cultures in regards to linguistics one of the most beneficial gifts a scholar can receive is.

Workshop Track 3: Expanding our Scholastic Achievement

14

Workshop HighlightsThe World’s Fastest Electric Car: The Buckeye Bullet, AllOn September 25th, 2009, a team of OSU students recorded new FIA land speed records (flying kilometer and flying mile) for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, with speeds in excess of 300 mph. This is the first time that a vehicle fueled by hydrogen and powered by fuel cells has achieved speeds in the 300s. This record is the culmination of five years of planning and execution on the part of a team of OSU engineering students. This seminar will talk about the history of the electric land speed record team at OSU, and will describe in some technical detail the fuel cell power system and the vehicle.

An Innovative Network in STEM Education Reform, AlumniThe Ohio STEM Learning Network helps orchestrate knowledge, talent and resources on “high leverage” problems associated with educational and economic renewal.

Closing the Gap, PCIAs a strong advocate for experiential learning, Youth Programs (YP) encourages its participants to be bold, choose adventure, and relentlessly push the limit of possibility. Our hands-on activity will be “Closing the Gap”, a bridge building exercise. The activity will focus on teamwork, design, financial planning, and planning ahead. Students will be given the task to design and create a bridge that will function and not collapse under pressure. The teams will need to focus on design, for each material has a difference cost and they will be working with a limited budget. Teams will be made up of a Project Manager, an Engineer, and an Architect. Our goal is to give students a chance to take a sneak-peak into real-world engineering challenges.

Social Networking for the Engineer, CollegiateWith the advent of MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn, and other Internet sites, social networking has grown from the casual, informal conversations we hold over the office water cooler to a technical world wide web of social and professional interactions over desktop computers, laptops, and smart phones. Social networking has encouraged new ways to communicate and share information, allowing individuals to create personal branding while promoting the generation and exchange of new ideas and concepts. This workshop will discuss and demonstrate how you can leverage the positive

COSI features more than 300 interactive exhibits throughout themed exhibition areas – Ocean, Space, Gadgets, Life, little kidspace, Progress, the outdoor Big Science Park, and the newly opened WOSU@COSI, which is the first public broadcasting

and science center partnership.

The museum also features exhibit areas that provide experiences for all age levels to combine science facts and learning through play. In addition to its exhibits, COSI has several live shows such as the Electrostatic Generator Show. There is also a seven-story Extreme Screen theater, the Science2GO! retail store, and the Atomicafe restaurant. COSI also hosts traveling exhibitions from

other museums throughout the year.

University Ambassadors share their student experience while leading you on a walking tour of campus. The tour showcases living and eating options, academic resources, and involvement opportunities. If you haven’t made an official college visit and

seen all Ohio State has to offer, this is the session for you!

Creative, engaging and interactive programs are the primary vehicle through which NSBE fulfills its mission of creating engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally and positively impact the community. Within Academic Excellence,

the National Academic Excellence Committee provides a variety of programs:

Technical Research Exhibition (TRE)

TRE enables participants to network with engineering professionals of color who develop and apply the nation’s leading edge technology and supports continued

academic and professional development

Academic Technical Bowl (ATB)

Program participation occurs through healthy competition in a “Jeopardy!” style game show format with multiple choice questions. Questions cover a wide variety of topics, from NSBE and African American Scientists and Inventors history to general engineering and science curricula from the FE/EIT. Questions will come from a popular standardized text which will be announced prior to the opening of the application module. Each team consists of four (4) members (including at most one graduate student and one underclassman) and one alternate, who represent their NSBE Chapter. Regional Technical Bowl competitions will be held at this year’s Fall Regional Conferences and the winning team from each region will compete for the national

title at the National Convention.

First place $1,000Second place $750Third place $50

Academic Pyramid of Excellence (APEx)

This program was developed to recognize members for outstanding academic achievement on the chapter, regional and national levels. Members must submit an official transcript or GPA verification form. These levels are based on cumulative GPAs.

Columbus SpotlightColumbus is the capital and largest city in the U.S. state of Ohio, and the state’s third largest metropolitan area, behind Cleveland and Cincinnati. It is the county seat of Franklin County, although parts of the city also extend into Delaware and Fairfield counties. Named for explorer Christopher Columbus, the city was founded in 1812 at the confluence of the Scioto and Olentangy

rivers, and assumed the functions of state capital in 1816.
