Tau Beta Pi was formed in 1885 and is both the world’s largest engineering society and the second oldest collegiate honor society in the US. The Johns Hopkins student chapter was the first chapter in the state of Maryland and has honored more than 2500 engineering students since its inception in 1921. Membership represents the highest honor to be obtained by an engineering student and is awarded on the basis of high scholarship and exemplary character.
