Tau Beta Pi is universally recognized as the preeminent engineering honor society that students of all engineering disciplines strive to become members of. As the only academic honor society that confers recognition on eligible individuals from all engineering disciplines, Tau Beta Pi: recognizes those who have conferred honor upon their Alma Maters by distinguished scholarship and exemplary character as students in engineering, or by their attainments as alumni in the field of engineering; provides leadership development and soft skills training for engineering students and alumni members; and promotes lifelong alumnus member involvement. To be eligible, students must be in the top eighth of their junior class or the top fifth of their senior class. The Virginia Epsilon Chapter is located at Virginia Commonwealth University.
