As a national student and professional based organization, The National Society of Black Engineers does hereby dedicate itself to increasing the participation of minority students in the fields of Engineering and Applied science. As a part of our mandate, programs will be initiated both within and outside the university community, which will serve to strengthen relations between industry and the minority community. Members of this organization are encouraged to join and participate in activities of the McMaster Engineering Society and professional societies advocating their respective discipline of Engineering. This organization will endeavour to provide a nurturing atmosphere that will foster the growth of members’ professional, academic, leadership and social skills.
