Description of the Organization

Upsilon Pi Epsilon is the first and only international honor society for the Computing Sciences. It was founded in 1967 to recognize scholarship and professionalism. In the years since then, over 220 institutions of higher education around the world have established UPE chapters to honor their students; many chapters also honor faculty with membership. TCU's Chapter of UPE was established in 1982.

In 1967, UPE won recognition and endorsement from the ACM Executive Council:

The Association for Computing Machinery has endorsed the UPE concept and has agreed to encourage its spread to other universities through student chapters of the ACM.

In 1992, UPE received formal endorsement by the Board of Governors of the IEEE Computer Society:

The Board of Governors moved that IEEE Computer Society endorse Upsilon Pi Epsilon as a honor society for the computing sciences.
