Currently, there are 218 chapters in the U.S. and several hundred thousand members, making it the world's largest engineering honor society. Our New York Tau chapter was founded in 1991 and has been recognized with several awards, including the R.C. Matthews Most Outstanding Chapter Award in 1992-93.

The objectives of Tau Beta Pi are to promote excellence in engineering and to instill a spirit of liberal culture to remind members that there is life outside of engineering. In supporting both those goals, the chapter's activities are varied. They range from tutoring sessions to gym nights and basketball tournaments. TBP also sponsors scholarships for excellent undergraduate engineering students.

Membership in Tau Beta Pi is by invitation. To be eligible, engineering students must be in the top one-eighth of their junior class or top one-fifth of their senior class and must demonstrate exemplary character as well as high academic achievement.

Upsilon Pi Epsilon is the international honor society for the computing sciences. Established in 1967 at Texas A&M University, it is the only computing sciences honors organization endorsed by both the Association for Computing Machinery and the IEEE Computer Society. With over 120 chapters worldwide, UPE strives to recognize outstanding talent and ability in the computing sciences, represent the computing sciences in interdisciplinary communications, and encourage individuals to contribute to society through the computing sciences.

The New York Iota chapter of UPE was founded at Binghamton University in 1991. An undergraduate computer science major is eligible for membership in UPE if he or she has completed at least 45 credits towards a BS in computer science or information systems, has completed at least four of the required computer science courses and has a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.4. An undergraduate transfer student must also have a grade point average of at least 3.4 from his or her previous institution and a minimum of 24 credits completed at Binghamton University.

The primary activity of Watson College's chapter of UPE is to provide free tutoring services to students enrolled in computer science courses. Members of UPE hold regular tutoring hours in the Watson Commons on weekday afternoons. In addition, UPE organizes events such as a game night in the MicroLab and a luncheon for computer science students who made the Dean's List.
