Pi Tau Sigma is a Mechanical Engineering Honor Society dedicated to fostering high ideals
in the engineering profession, stimulating and coordinating departmental activities, and
promoting mutual professional welfare between its members.
Pi Tau Sigma members are chosen on a basis of sound engineering ability, scholarship
(upper 35%), personality, and probable future success in their chosen field of Mechanical
Engineering. There are three grades of membership: Honorary, Graduate, and Active.
Honorary members are technical graduates actively engaged in engineering work or
members of mechanical engineering faculties. 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.
In addition to the requirements listed above, to be initiated into Pi Tau Sigma you must
complete the following requirements:
1. Complete a Resume Critique at The Center in the Engineering Building
2. Attend at least one chapter academic event
3. Attend at least one chapter social event
4. Attend at least one chapter service event
5. Attend the initiation ceremony at the end of the semester
6. Pay a one-time fee of $50
