Tau Alpha Pi
The Omicron Alpha Chapter of Tau Alpha Pi, the National Society for Engineering Technology is located at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. The society was founded in 1953 to provide recognition for high standards of scholarship among students in technical colleges and universities and to engender desirable qualities of personality, intellect, and character among engineering technology students by offering membership in the society to those with outstanding records. Tau Alpha Pi National Honor Society has affiliate chapters on the campuses of many of the country’s leading technical colleges and universities.
The society is intended to be for the engineering technology student what Phi Bet a Kappa is for the arts and sciences student and what Tau Beta Pi is for the engineering science student. Admission to Tau Alpha Pi is based solely on academic eligibility for both day and evening students. The criterion for admission requires a cumulative Grade Point Average of at least 3.5 after the completion of 30 credits of study. Also, admission is limited to the top 25 students in any year.
The current advisor to Tau Alpha Pi is William Barnes, P.E., associate professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology, Department of Engineering Technology.
