Departments of Civil Engineering and related titles/fields that do not have Chi Epsilon student chapters may petition the Society to initiate a new chapter. For more information, please contact info@chi-epsilon.org or the District Councillor  in your area for detailed information.

In summary, to be initiated as a new chapter, the department will need to 1) have programs accredited by ABET Inc., 2) have or establish a local honor society for a period of one year, and 3) complete a petition providing information about the school, program, local officers, commitment of a faculty adviser, etc. During this period, the District Councillor will work with the department and local honor society to assist in the process.
