The Honor Society for
All Engineers at UCLA

Who We Are

Tau Beta Pi is the national honor society representing the entire engineering profession, and the California Epsilon chapter has served the UCLA community since 1952. By recognizing professional achievement, as well as service, Tau Beta Pi strives to uphold its creed of "Integrity and Excellence in Engineering."Consistent with the mission of Tau Beta Pi, the UCLA chapter of TBP is open to all students.

Becoming a Member

Invitations for membership may be extended to undergraduate engineering majors who are in the top 1/5 of Senior Class or 1/8 of Junior Class.Candidates must also have completed at least 28 units from UCLA to be invited in the Fall or Spring. Junior and senior class designation are based on units completed per the UCLA Registrar's Office. For Fall invitations, grades and units obtained up until the end of Summer Session A - 6 Weeks will be considered.Once eligible and candidacy is confirmed, initiates must demonstrate their commitment to TBP’s values. This is done through weekly volunteering, service, and several TBP traditions like polishing the Bent outside Boelter Hall.After officially initiating, members have the option to continue their involvement by either joining the officer board or becoming a distinguished active member. Both receive discounts on TBP graduation regalia. Please visit the links below for more details on induction and requirements.
