About Us
PI TAU SIGMA members are chosen on a basis of sound engineering ability, scholarship (upper 35%), personality, and probablefuture success in their chosen field of Mechanical Engineering. There are three grades of membership: Honorary, Graduate, andActive. Honorary members are technical graduates actively engaged in engineering work; or members of mechanical engineeringfaculties. Graduate membership is conferred upon persons who would have been eligible had Pi Tau Sigma been established earlier in schools not having chapters, or upon those continuing graduate study. Active members are selected from the junior and senior mechanical engineering classes at their respective schools whose mechanical engineering curriculum must be accredited by ABET. The four objectives of PI TAU SIGMA are to foster high ideals in the engineering profession, to stimulate interest in departmental activities, promote the general welfare of its members, and Prepare students for leadership roles.
