Engineering Recognition: Present & Past

This past weekend at the Florida Atlantic University’s Student Organization Awards and Recognition (SOAR) banquet, the Florida Epsilon Chapter of Tau Beta Pi at FAU won the Student Organization Program of the Year for their efforts related to the MindSET program.
