NSBE was founded in 1971 at Purdue University. It was originally titled Black Society of Engineers, dedicated to the retention of Black engineers in higher education
"to increase the number of culturally responsible Black Engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally, and positively impact the community."
UCSB's National Society of Black Engineers chapter was founded in the 1980s and has been dedicated to the empowerment of all Black Engineers and STEM students since then.
