Black engineering students throughout the United States and Canada attended this event to lay the foundation for an organization which would promote the recruitment, retention, and successful graduation of Blacks in engineering. NSBE develops intensive programs for increasing the participation of Black and other under represented groups in the fields of engineering and the engineering technologies. In pursuit of this mission, NSBE operates through a university-based structure coordinated through regional zones, and administered by the National Executive Board. Using this operational structure, NSBE initiates programs both, within and outside, the university community. NSBE was incorporated in December 1976 in the state of Texas.

The local chapters are the center of NSBE activity. Chapters create and conduct projects in the area of pro-college student interaction, university academic support mechanisms and career guidance programs. Additionally, NSBE has laid the foundation for international expansion.
