Chi Epsilon is a National Civil Engineering Honor Society. We are dedicated to the purpose of maintaining and promoting the status of civil engineering as an ideal profession. Chi Epsilon was organized to recognize the characteristics of the individual civil engineer, which is deemed to be fundamental to the successful pursuit of an engineering career, and to aid in the development of those characteristics in the civil engineering student. To contribute to the improvement of the civil engineering profession, Chi Epsilon fosters the development and exercise of sound traits of character and technical ability among civil engineers, and its members, by precept and example, toward an ever-higher standard of professional service. |
| - To contribute to the improvement of the civil engineering profession as an instrument for the betterment of society. - To recongnize the fundamental characteristics of the successful civil engineer, and to aid in the development of these characteristics. - To encourage wherever possible any movement which will advance the best interest of engineering education; to actively support, wherever necessary; and to institute procedures and practices for the improvement of the civil engineering departments at the schools at which chapters of Chi Epsilon are established. |
The motto of Chi Epsilon is Chi Delta Chi, which symbolizes our English motto: Conception, Design, and Construction |
| Members are chosen from among students who have completed at least one-half of the work required for their bachelor's degree or its equivalent. To be eligible for membership, an undergraduate must rank scholastically in the upper one-third of his or her class in a curriculum leading to a baccalaureate degree in civil engineering. A graduate student who was initiated as an undergraduate may be an active member of the chapter at the school he or she is presently attending. In addition, graduate students may be initiated and are eligible for membership under certain rules, or may be considered as inactive members at the discretion of the chapter. |
