Omega Chi Epsilon is a national honor society for chemical engineers and a student branch exists at Georgia Tech. Membership is on a selective basis, with invitations issued to senior students whose cumulative grade point average as well as grade point average in chemical engineering courses are each 3.1 or above. For junior-level students, each of these averages must be 3.3 or better to be considered for membership. Dr. L. J. Forney is the current faculty advisor for this group. Tau Beta Pi is a national honor society for engineers and a student chapter exists at Georgia Tech.
Membership is on a selective basis and requires exemplary character.
Invitations are issued to the to eighth of the Junior Class and to the top fifth of the Senior Class. This worldwide organization is primarily concerned with instrumentation and control systems for manufacturing operations, including chemical and allied processes. Such registration is similar to that required in many other professional fields, e.g., medicine, law, accounting. In engineering, professional registration is becoming increasingly important as engineers interface more and more with various governmental, regulatory and legal agencies. This second examination is usually rather specific to the applicant's particular field of engineering, e.g., chemical, mechanical, electrical.
