This year, The Citadel sent four student
members to the National Convention in Orlando, Florida
between October 7 to October 9. The four members were: Ray
Foltz, Lucas Parobek, Tom Olney and Bruce Bailey. Dean
Dennis Fallon, Chapter Chief Advisor, also attended the
convention. Much was learned through the interaction of the
members from around the nation. The primary item of
interest that was considered by the Convention was the
admittance of non-engineering curriculums to Tau Beta Pi
such as: Computer Science, Mathematics and Architecture.
Although it was agreed that only program that had
engineering in the title of the program would be accepted
for admittance, a resolution was adopted to allow other
programs to be accepted on a case by case basis that as
approved by the Executive Council and the National
Convention.
