HKN 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.
For more than 100 years, Eta Kappa Nu has embraced excellence. In the years ahead, HKN will continue to reinvent itself to meet the needs of its 200,000+ members, the institutions they serve, and our overall society.
The Iota Eta Chapter
Members of the Iota Eta chapter dedicate their time and effort to bettering the Electrical and Computer Engineering department community. Our purpose is to promote and encourage, among UD students, a desire for higher scholastic standing and greater knowledge within the ECE field. We work to foster a spirit of respect and cooperation with both the faculty and engineering organizations of the University of Dayton.
Our chapter was inactive for several years until the fall of 2009. Over the past two years we have been working to build both membership and influence within the school of engineering. Last year we began providing tutoring support and hands-on technical workshops for ECE students. We are working to expand our services to the department and truly become the leadership organization designated by the ideals of Eta Kappa Nu (HKN).
