The Tau Beta Pi Association is the national honor society for engineering. Every year the association supports graduate education through a nationally competitive Fellowship Program. The Tau Beta Pi Association was founded at Lehigh University in 1885 to mark in a fitting manner those who have conferred national honor upon their Alma Mater by 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 colleges.

University of Iowa College of Engineering National Tau Beta Pi Scholars
Undergraduate students whose scholarship places them in the top eighth of their engineering class in their next-to-last year or in the top fifth of their engineering class in their last college year are eligible for membership consideration. These scholastically eligible students are further considered on the basis of personal integrity, breadth of interest both inside and outside engineering, adaptability, and unselfish activity.
