As the largest Black engineering and STEM community, we continue to make impactful strides in society and industry. It is an honor to work alongside such an incredible, dynamic, and dedicated group of individuals who are committed to advancing the field of engineering and uplifting our communities.

Engineering Excellence Meets Community and Collaboration

The National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) is organized into six vibrant and dynamic regions, each serving as a distinct hub of innovation, diversity, and opportunity. These regions not only foster a sense of community among engineers and STEM enthusiasts but also provide invaluable resources and support for members across the nation and even internationally. Each region is characterized by its unique culture and initiatives, aimed at empowering individuals to excel in their fields and contribute to the advancement of technology and engineering.

Don’t Miss the Opportunity to Elevate Yourself and Connect with the Best

We envision a world in which engineering is a mainstream word in homes and communities of color, and all Black students can envision themselves as engineers. In this world, Blacks exceed parity in entering engineering fields, earning degrees, and succeeding professionally.

The NSBE membership year spans August 1 – July 31.


If you choose not to be affiliated with a chapter in your local area, you will be considered a member “At-Large," classified by your geographical region. Members At-Large receive the same national benefits as those who belong to a chapter.
