The '''''National Society of Black Engineers''''' (NSBE) was created by two engineering students at Purdue University, Edward Barnett and Fred Cooper. NSBE’s main goal is to provide academic and career opportunities to its members through various programs, scholarships and training.
===Mission===The mission of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) is to increase the number of culturally responsible students who excel academically to also succeed professionally and thereby make a positive impact in the community. Our objectives are to stimulate and develop interest in engineering, sciences and business. We encourage members to seek advanced degrees in their fields and to obtain professional registrations. '''aimNSBE McGill aims to:''' to:
* empower engineering students from different minority groups through events geared towards academic and career development.
* encourage the enrollment of young adults from minority groups in STEM fields. <br>
==Main Events==Mission[[File:SpeedMentoring.JPG|thumb|left|220px|Speed Mentoring Event]]===A Walk for Education===The mission One of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) largest and most successful events that POWE organizes is Speed Networking. At our Speed Networking event, we invite professional engineers to share their experiences. The evening is always extremely successful and gives students the opportunity to increase learn from, connect, and network with engineering professionals. In the number of culturally responsible past year, the event has always filled quickly and has drawn 80 students who excel academically and 25 professionals. Due to its success, POWE also succeed professionally hosts a Fall Speed-Mentoring, where we invite 10-15 professionals.===Networking Event===By far POWE’s largest event, the Conference for Future Women in Engineering has been an annual event at McGill for over a decade. The event is so successful that we always fill to capacity months prior. During the conference, over 135 high school students from the Montreal and surrounding area come to McGill for a day to experience a microcosm of what it means to be a McGill Engineering student. The full day conference involves a keynote speaker, lab tours, student and professor panels, and thereby make concludes with a design competition. Year after year, we receive enormously positive impact in feedback from both teachers and students.===Panel Discussions===POWE visits many industries throughout the communityyear. Our objectives are These tours aim to stimulate expose students to a wise variety of possible career paths with the hope of encouraging female students to remain within the discipline after graduation. In the past, POWE has visited Medtronics, CSA (Canadian Space Agency), Pfizer, Pepsi Co., IREQ (Hydro-Quebec Research Institute), and develop interest l'Oreal Canada.[[File:POWE_WISE.jpg|thumb|right|220px|POWE Delegation at WISE 2014]]===Black History Month - Black Legacy Dinner===One of our major initiatives is in sending a strong delegation to represent McGill at national science and engineeringconferences, sciences particularly the Conference on Diversity in Engineering (CDE) as well as WISE (Women in Science and Engineering) and businessSWE (Society for Women Engineers). We encourage members These conferences allow selected applicants the opportunity to seek advanced degrees participate in their fields the conferences and, equally importantly, connect with industry, academic, and student representatives from across Canada, and to obtain professional registrationsinternationally.===Case Competition===
