PI TAU SIGMA (Mechanical Engineering Honour Society)

Pi Tau Sigma appeared on with the twentieth century came the acknowledgment that honor social orders made an unmistakable commitment March 16, 1915, at the University of Illinois. The early pioneers: Professors C.R. Richards, A.C. Willard, and O.A. Leutwiler of the University of Illinois; G.L. Larson of the University of Wisconsin; G.A. Youthful of Purdue University; and J.V. Martenis of the University of Minnesota, emerge for thier early commitments. In ten years Pi Tau Sigma developed to six parts in the midwest (Illinois Alpha, Wisconsin Alpha, Purdue Beta, Minnesota Gamma, Illinois Delta, And Missouri Epsilon). In 1925 the development proceeded toward the east with the Penn Sate Zeta Chapter being introduced. After six years the Texas Kappa Chapter, and the next year the Colorado Mu Chapter built up sections in the south and west.

PI TAU SIGMA individuals are picked on a premise of sound building capacity, grant (upper 35%), identity, and plausible future achievement in their picked field of Mechanical Engineering.There are three evaluations of enrollment: Honorary, Graduate, and Active. Privileged individuals are specialized graduates effectively occupied with designing work; or individuals from mechanical building resources. Graduate participation is given upon people who might have been qualified had Pi Tau Sigma been set up before in schools not having sections, or upon those proceeding with graduate study.

Dynamic individuals are chosen from the lesser and senior mechanical designing classes at their separate schools whose mechanical building educational modules must be licensed by ABET.
