The Idaho Beta Chapter of Tau Beta Pi, the national engineering honor society in the ISU College of Engineering, has two new members. The inductees include one senior in Mechanical Engineering and one junior in Nuclear Engineering: Jack Brion Kettler, Pocatello and Benjamin Baker, Pocatello.
As a prerequisite to their initiation, student honorees performed several service projects. Jack Brion Kettler was active in the 2006 Pocatello High School Robotics Competition as a mentor and the Invent Idaho contest as a judge and in the Lego league as a competition judge. Benjamin Baker has helped in service projects in his church, helped with a fundraiser for the Veteran's home and sang for the Nursing home and widows in town.
The student membership requirement for Tau Beta Pi includes a grade-point average in the top eighth of the junior class or top fifth of the senior class. According to the Tau Beta Pi eligibility code, "Distinguished scholarship, while the primary requisite for admission, must not be considered the sole criterion. After the scholastic requirements have been fulfilled, the selection shall be based on integrity, breadth of interest both inside and outside of engineering, adaptabilit and unselfish activity."
