Tau Beta Pi | CA Eta WHAT IS TAU BETA PI? Tau Beta Pi is the oldest national engineering honor society in the country. TBP recognizes exceptional engineers and individuals who are scholastically accomplished and have exemplary character from all engineering disciplines. Learn More » HISTORY OF TAU BETA PI When the academic honor society Phi Beta Kapp restricted its membership to students of the liberal arts and sciences in the late 19th century, Edward H. Williams Jr., the founder of Phi Beta Kappa and head of the mining department at Lehigh university, formulated the idea of an honor society for those studying technical subjects. On June 15th, 1885, he realized this idea with the initiation of Andrew Heikes, a valedictorian of Lehigh University and thereby formally activating the Tau Beta Pi Honors Society. The TBP CA Eta Chapter (San Jose State University), was founded on March 14, 1964. Tau Beta Pi currently consists of 251 collegiate chapters & 46 active alumni chapters, with over 600,000 lifetime members. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE BENT The Bent, the official badge of Tau Beta Pi. The badge was initially a watch key that resembled the bent of a trestle (hence the name), which is the load-bearing part of the bridge. The bent provides integrity to the structure and represents our creed Integrity and Excellence in Engineering. The bottom stem was added to fit a watch-winding shaft, and the top stem and ring allowed for the key to be worn as a pendant, thus easily used as a watch key. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTABLE MEMBERS Nobel Laureates Winners of the Presidential Medal of Freedom Honorees in the National Inventors Hall of Fame Recipients of the National Medal of Technology Recipients of the National Medal of Science Members of the National Academy of Engineering Draper Prize Winners Postage Stamp Honorees Corporate CEOs & Academic Leaders State Governors Olympic & Professional Athletes Super Bowl winners Previous Next -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Previous Next TBP CA ETA - EVENTS Our chapter organizes various social events that allows members to interact with various other engineering disciplines.
