1 Bylaws of the Maryland Epsilon Chapter of Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society at the Clarence M. Mitchell, Jr. School of Engineering Morgan State University The Maryland Epsilon Chapter of Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society is founded to mark in a fitting manner those who have conferred honor upon the Clarence M. Mitchell, Jr. School of Engineering by their 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 departments. Bylaw I - General Section 4. Chapter Bylaws. These Bylaws shall govern the proceedings of the Maryland Epsilon Chapter. Conformance to Bylaws. This Chapter shall conform to such rules and regulations of the Morgan State University and of the Clarence M. Mitchell, Jr. School of Engineering as they may apply to honor societies. Conflict with Bylaws. In the event of conflict between the Bylaws of the Maryland Epsilon Chapter and the rules and regulations of the Morgan State University andlor the rules of the Clarence M. Mitchell, Jr. School of Engineering, the rules of the latter shall prevail. Abbreviated References. Abbreviated reference to these Bylaws are illustrated as follows: VI-l(a)i - Bylaw VI, section 1, part (a), paragraph i. Bylaw I1 - Government and Officers Chapter. The Chapter shall be composed of members chosen from among eligible students, graduate students, and alumni on the bases of distinguished scholarship and or professional attainment and exemplary character. Election. (a) There shall be only one class of members, but for convenience, they shall be called Undergraduate Members if they are undergraduate students, and Alumnus Members if they are no longer in college. (b) All candidates for membership shall be elected by the Chapter. They shall be initiated in a formal ritual ceremony by a group of members designated by the active chapter members, and the Advisory Board. (c) The election of all members shall be by a secret ballot and by a majority of the active Chapter membership eligible to vote thereon. The candidate must receive 314 the votes to be considered for membership. (d) Normally, there shall be two elections and initiations of students held each year, namely, near the beginning of the first and second semesters of the college year. (e) The Advisory Board may authorize special elections or initiations other than those just specified.

2 Eligibility of Candidates. (a) To be eligible for election, the candidate shall be a student pursuing a regular, undergraduate engineering degree in an accredited curriculum at the Clarence M. Mitchell, Jr. School of Engineering. Candidates for membership shall meet the scholarship provisions of these Bylaws and shall have exemplary character. (b) The undergraduate curricula accredited at the Clarence M. Mitchell, Jr. School of Engineering by the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET) are Civil Engineering (CE), Electrical Engineering (EE), and Industrial Engineering (IE). (c) The graduate curriculum consists of programs leading to the Master of Science (M.S.) in Transportation Engineering, and the Master of Engineering (M.E.) and Doctor of Engineering (D.Eng.) with concentrations in Civil Engineering (CE), Electrical Engineering (EE), and Industrial Engineering (d) Engineering Technology and Engineering Physics are not to be considered as eligible curricula for membership. (e) The Chapter may decide for itself by a simple majority vote, subject to the approval of its Advisory Board, to exclude from eligibility all students of a particular curriculum who in the opinion of the Chapter, are not engineering students, even if their curriculum is administered by the school of engineering. (f) Those juniors who have a cumulative grade point average of 3.2 on a 4.0 scale, and are scholastically in the upper eighth of their regular engineering class shall be eligible for election, provided that the criteria specified in V-3, is met. (g) To be considered juniors, students shall be in the next-to-the-last year of their undergraduate engineering curriculum or shall have completed the Clarence M. Mitchell, Jr. School of Engineering's requirements for junior standing in the curriculum. This includes transfer students as well. In the event that a cooperative program is established, students may be regarded as juniors when fifty per cent of the institution's specified undergraduate academic degree requirements have been completed. Students in approved evening curricula shall be eligible for election as juniors when their total credits for scholastic work completed shall be not less than those of the eligible day juniors. (h) Those senior students who have a cumulative grade point average of 3.2 on a 4.0 scale, and whose scholastic records fall within the upper fifth of the class shall be eligible for election at the beginning of the first semester of the senior year. (i) To be considered seniors, students shall be in the last year of the undergraduate engineering curriculum or shall have completed the Clarence M. Mitchell, Jr. School of Engineering's requirements for senior standing in the curriculum. In the event of a cooperative program, students may be regarded as seniors after having completed seventy-five per cent of the

3 Section 4. Section 5. Section 6. undergraduate academic degree requirements specified by the institution. Students in approved eveninglpart-time curricula shall be eligible for election as seniors when their total credits for scholastic work completed shall be not less than those of the eligible day seniors.

(k) Special students and those students who are not candidates for an engineering degree shall not be counted in determining the enrollments or the numbers who are eligible for election. (1) Undergraduate students transferring from another institution shall not be eligible for election until the third semester after their registration. The student must have also completed a minimum of 24 credit hours here at Morgan State University. Students subject to this subsection shall be eligible at the second regular election after their registration, provided the consent of two-thirds of the Advisory Board of the Chapter is obtained and they meet the other requirements for election. To be eligible for election, students must meet the criteria specified in V-3. (m)the cases of students whose eligibility is in doubt because of irregular standing or curriculum shall be referred to the Advisory Board of the Chapter for the determination of the terms and times of eligibility.

Mitchell, Jr. Engineering School of Engineering. Such a candidate may be initiated via a fund set up by the active chapter members, and the School of Engineering. Note that the funds must be repaid by the end of the semester that the student is to be enrolled. Failure to do so is grounds for dismissal from the chapter. Initiation by Error.

7 Section 4. Section 5. Section 6. (1) In computing one-eighth or one-fifth of the total enrollment of the regular junior and senior classes in engineering, any fraction shall be considered an integer.
