UIC

Pi Tau Sigma consists of students with a strong scholastic record in Mechanical Engineering at The University of Illinois at Chicago. This organization extended memberships to students willing to work beyond the academic scope of engineering and contribute to the community as a whole.

Seriously consider membership in Pi Tau Sigma, as it is both an honor and potentially an important asset to your career. Employers and graduate schools often need something to distinguish you among a large field of candidates and an honors society is just that. Besides being a part of the only nationally recognized Mechanical Engineering honor's society, the Alpha Sigma Chapter offers many other benefits to its members:

• Life-time membership
• Networking opportunities with top fellow ME students and faculty
• Many officer and chair positions available each year
• Volunteer opportunities that relate to engineering and education
• Free copies in the MIE department business office at UIC
• Eligibility to wear the Pi Tau Sigma stole at graduation
• Recognition by faculty and peers as one of the top students at UIC
• Opportunity to increase the representation of mechanical engineering at UIC
• Eligibility for the annual Pi Tau Sigma Scholarship

Members are expected to contribute a minimal set of hours each semester of participation and volunteering to engineering. Such hours documented include, going to general meetings, fundraising, engineering week, campus tours to prospective students, recruitment, extracurricular engineering events, and many other powerful opportunities.

There is one initiation each semester where the recruitment chair and officers nominate the top students of Mechanical engineering in the sophomore, junior, and senior brackets. The nominees are sent a congratulations letter and application in the mail and to their university e-mail account. These are sent early in the semester.
