Tau Beta Pi California Sigma Chapter

University of California, Santa Barbara

History

The Tau Beta Pi Association was founded at Lehigh University in 1885 by Edward Higginson Williams, Jr., to mark in a fitting manner those who have conferred honor upon their Alma Mater by distinguished scholarship and exemplary character as students in engineering, or by their attainments as alumni in the field of engineering, and to foster a spirit of liberal culture in engineering colleges.

Vision

Tau Beta Pi will be universally recognized as the premier honor society.

Creed

Integrity and excellence in engineering.
