Black Engineers Society-BES BES Mission: To recruit, retain and release qualified minorities in the fields of computer science,

Since its inception in 1970, the Black Engineers Society has flourished into a successful organization dedicated to helping and improving the community. In 1976, BES became a chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers or NSBE. The mission of BES can be stated as the “3 R’s”: To recruit, retain and release qualified minorities in the fields of computer science, engineering, mathematics, and

physical sciences. This goal is accomplished through numerous programs, services and activities that help to academically and professionally develop minority science and engineering students.Professional development is an important aspect of the BES. We sponsor career workshops and invite speakers from professional companies to discuss employment opportunities and new developments within the technological field. Our General Body Meetings give students the opportunity to interact with visiting corporate representatives who often teach us about the culture and ethics of today’s business and industry.We also offer services that target academic improvement in order to help “retain” and “release” good students. Academic assistance is provided in the form of advising, tutoring, study groups, and a file containing old exams. Additionally, workshops are presented that discuss study skills and time management techniques, as well as, methods for coping with stress. The Black Engineers Society will continue to provide services to promote and encourage minority participation in the field of engineering thus strengthening our community and maintaining a strong foundation that can be passed from one generation to the next.
