| President: TJ Corder | List of all Executives |
Function:
In short, Engineering Tribunal is where you can go to be connected to what you’re looking for.
We are one of the largest student groups on campus for good reason. We offer professionally enriching experiences, like our annual career fair with over a hundred companies, and celebrations, such as EWeek and Luau. We have members who sit on college committees so that there is always a student voice and so that we stay up-to-date on the happenings within the college. Our student senators serve as representatives to the university-wide student senate and work to promote your interests there. We also offer services designed to help you get the most out of your college experience, including this listing of student groups so that you can get connected with what interests you. You can read about the rest of our committees and get more details on those mentioned above by visiting our committees page.
Officially, we are the undergraduate student government of the College of Engineering. We represent the students of the College of Engineering on all relevant issues, specifically with curriculum, academic and professional standards, and university and college computing services. We also assist the students with professional, social, and leadership development.
You can find more specifics about Engineering Tribunal in our Constitution and Bylaws, but the best way to get to know the organization and how it can help you is to stop by our office or any one of our meetings.

General Info
President - Alexzandra Spatholt
Function:
Tau Beta Pi is the national engineering honor society. It was founded in 1885 at Lehigh University by Dr. Edward H. William Jr. because he wished to recognize students of distinguished scholarship and exemplary character. The organization sponsors projects which emphasize the Society's objectives--recognizing outstanding engineering students and professionals and encouraging the interests of engineers in non-technical fields, the college, and the community.
The Ohio Beta chapter at the University of Cincinnati participates in a variety of projects that are designed to "foster a spirit of liberal culture" in the College of Engineering, the University, the outside community, and the chapter. Within the college, the chapter organizes a tutoring program for engineering freshman and offers open help sessions for freshman in Physics. These sessions are available twice a week throughout the school year. Each year, Ohio Beta sponsors the eating contest and can food drive as part of the Engineering Week activities. Tau Bates have also helped judge local high school science fairs and graded the JETS TEAMS exams. In order to benefit the community, Ohio Beta has undertaken various projects such as community clean ups, blood drives, various walks and marathons for specific causes, and tutoring at local area schools. Our chapter also participates in Bike Works, a national TBP program that fixes old bikes to be given to needy children. The chapter also organizes a variety of fundraising and social events. Fundraising events include bake sales, T-shirt sales, and offering our services to any organization or event where help is needed. Social activities include dinner outings, intramural sports, seasonal activities like haunted houses and ice skating, and joint excursions with other nearby Tau Beta Pi chapters.
How to get involved:
Students eligible for membership (see requirement section) will be directly contacted by the chapter and invited to participate in the membership process. Only members are permitted to attend meetings, but anyone interested in participating in events with TBP or attending the tutoring sessions is welcome. Interested students should email uc.tbp.ohb@gmail.com to see what they can participate in, but unless the requirements are met, participating unfortunately cannot guarantee invitation to join the organization.
Requirements to become a member:
High academic achievement as a student, or eminent professional achievement, is the first eligibility requirement for election to Tau Beta Pi. Responsible students in the upper eighth of their pre-junior or junior engineering classes or in the upper fifth of their senior class are eligible for consideration for membership into the Ohio Beta chapter. Through its high academic standards, Tau Beta Pi encourages all students to strive for academic excellence, and it holds up as models of professional excellence for those few individuals who are invited to membership because of their distinction in engineering achievement. The second eligibility requirement for Tau Beta Pi membership is good character. A Tau Bate has personal integrity, a wide range of interests, adaptability, and participates unselfishly in community and volunteer activities.
If a student is eligible for membership in TBP, the chapter will contact them when they become eligible. There are no exceptions to the academic or character requirements.
