It is one of the largest student-run organizations in the United States, with core activities centered on improving the recruitment and retention of Black and other minority engineers in both academia and industry.
NSBE has more than 30,000 members worldwide, 18 regional conferences, an annual international conference, an annual national convention, and offers multiple scholarships. NSBE also represents 310 collegiate student chapters, 99 pre-college programs, and 88 professional chapters with their 6,000 technical members, divided into 6 regions. A professional staff operates NSBE’s World Headquarters in Virginia.
NSBE's ultimate goal is to create a support group for black youth, students, and professionals in STEM.
