Selection
PI TAU SIGMA members are chosen on a basis of sound engineering ability, scholarship (upper 25%), personality, and probable future success in their chosen field of Mechanical Engineering. There are three grades of membership:
-
Honorary: Honorary members are technical graduates actively engaged in engineering work; or members of mechanical engineering faculties.
-
Graduate: Graduate membership is conferred upon persons who would have been eligible had Pi Tau Sigma been established earlier in schools not having chapters, or upon those continuing graduate study.
-
Active: Active members are selected from the junior and senior mechanical engineering classes at their respective schools whose mechanical engineering curriculum must be accredited by ABET.
