The Tau Beta Pi Association (commonly Tau Beta Pi, ΤΒΠ, or TBP) is the oldest engineering honor society and the second oldest collegiate honor society in the United States.[1] It honors engineering students in American universities who have shown a history of academic achievement as well as a commitment to personal and professional integrity. Specifically, the association was founded "to mark in a fitting manner those who have conferred honor upon their Alma Mater by distinguished scholarship and exemplary character as students in engineering, or by their attainments as alumni in the field of engineering, and to foster a spirit of liberal culture in engineering colleges".[2][3][4]

(ed. note: It might be necessary to enter "Tau Beta Pi" into the box labeled "Honor Society Name" and then click [mouse click] the [box] ('button') labeled "Search"; however, when I did that, although it did take me to a web page that seemed to be specific to "Tau Beta Pi", it DID NOT change the URL that was still displayed (in the "location" sub-window of my web browser) the same [as what is now the value of the 'url' field for this footnote] ... the same as before. Hence ... I was unable to figure out some ["magic"] URL that would take one 'directly' to that web page that was specific to "Tau Beta Pi". END OF "ed. note")
