About HKN

Eta Kappa Nu Mission and Purpose

Eta Kappa Nu is a unique membership organization dedicated to encouraging and recognizing excellence in the electrical and computer engineering fields. Members consist of students, alumni, and other professionals who have demonstrated exceptional academic and professional accomplishments. Student members are selected on the basis of scholastic standing, character, and leadership. Through a variety of service programs and leadership training, student members develop lifelong skills that earmark them for prominent positions in industry and academia. Members are much better prepared for the post-college world and are especially valuable and attractive to employers. They are recognized as extremely capable, both technically and professionally.

-HKN National Chapter

How do I join HKN?

The national headquarters of Eta Kappa Nu requires that pledges be in the top 25% of their class junior year or in the top 33% of their class senior year. In addition, Psi Chapter requires that prospective pledges be in major sequence during their pledge semester.

If you fulfill these requirements, you will receive a letter in the mail inviting you to undergo a semester-long pledge process.

Check out the Pledges page for more details about the pledge process.
