Conferences
Conferences are a great way for members to network with major engineering companies as well as students from other chapters of NSBE. Events include seminars on professionalism in engineering, tips for academic success and chances to meet recruiters from top companies. If you are interested in attending a conference, please attend one of our many events for information.
Fees
Annual Programs:
The Fall Regional Conference (FRC) which is in Denver, Colorado from November 4th -6th, is utilized to create an atmosphere for technical development, professional etiquette, cultural awareness, as well as networking among members and professionals. This is where members learn more of the NSBE history, participate in a career fair, and become active regional and national members. Members also have an opportunity to display their talents in events such as the academic technical bowl and oratorical contests.
The National Convention which is in Kansas City Missouri from March 29th-April 2nd, is where thousands of students gather from across the United States and the world to evaluate the previous years' achievements, elect national and regional officers for the upcoming academic year, and plan strategies and methods of implementation for future programs. This is the largest and most expensive event that NSBE participates in annually. This is also the opportunity for members to come in contact with the past and present leaders of the organization and discover their own leadership abilities. The convention features a career fair much larger than FRC in which companies from around the nation are invited. Members also partake in workshops, a graduate school fair, seminars, NSBE forums, and an awards banquet.
Social events are a necessity for balance among college students; especially those in technical based fields. A trip to a theme park, camping, bowling, and movie nights are a few of the activities planned for the year in order to provide bonding experiences and retreats from academic stresses.
Fees
- Costs for attendance include airfare (or other means of transportation), meals, and lodging for the duration of conference. NSBE will cover a portion of the cost for the most dedicated members.
