Alpha Epsilon
The National Honor Society of Biological and Agricultural Engineers
Epsilon Beta Chapter
Oklahoma State University


Alpha Epsilon is an honor society for outstanding biological and agricultural engineers. The objectives of the honor society are to promote the high ideals of the engineering profession, to give recognition to those biological and agricultural engineers who manifest worthy qualities of character, scholarship and professional attainment, and to encourage and support such improvements in the biological and agricultural engineering profession that make it an instrument of greater service to mankind.

Memberships in Alpha Epsilon consist of three classes: honorary , active, and alumni. Honorary members are selected on the basis of successful achievement in biological and agricultural engineering. Active members are chosen only from students registered in the upper third of their engineering class, and who exhibit outstanding qualities of character, leadership, and personality. Graduate members may be chosen from outstanding graduate students in biological and agricultural engineering.

The Epsilon Beta Chapter was chartered in 1981. Our traditional fund-raiser is the "Engineers' Breakfast" on Wednesdays to raise money for the annual Underclassman Excellence Award and the Distinguished Service Award. Alpha Epsilon members also aid the faculty during weekly help sessions for Biosystems underclassman.
