Introduction
Let us acquaint you with the Eta Kappa Nu Association. It is the International Honor Society for Electrical and Computer Engineers. A Chapter or Eta Branch of Eta Kappa Nu has been established at your College, Company, or City and at approximately 200 other locations in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Outstanding persons are elected to Eta Kappa Nu primarily from the junior and senior classes of accredited undergraduate programs. Graduate Students and distinguished professional engineers are also eligible. Eligibility, naturally, must depend on marked ability, as evidenced by scholarship, personal character, useful voluntary services, and distinguished accomplishments, all of which indicate that the candidate will be or is a success in his profession. For undergraduate students, eligibility must depend largely on the records established during the first two or three years in college. Therefore, it is important that you set your goal early and strive steadfastly, first to do well scholastically; and, second, to give some of yourself to carefully selected activities which will help your school and fellow man. In turn, these accomplishments will bring returns to you as well.It is for these reasons that Eta Kappa Nu is being brought to your attention
now. The potential advantages and opportunities created through membership
in this society are worthwhile goals. The scholastic and related effort
that it will take to become qualified will reap benefits for you beyond
your expectations. Eta Kappa Nu members are marked people, sought after
by the
best companies for employment. This factor alone is worth the effort
it takes to maintain Eta Kappa Nu's high standards.
Eta Kappa Nu has grown steadily since its establishment at the University of Illinois in1904. In the first ten years, ten chapters were formed. In the first fifty years, 56 chapters were in existence. In 1983 there were approximately 200 chapters including branches of Eta in five foreign countries and numerous Alumni Chapters in various cities and corporations.
Eta Kappa Nu continues to grow and to influence the progress of the
electrical engineering profession through its high ideals about scholarship,
character, and service to fellow man.
