Built where the rockets launch.
The Space Coast professional chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers. We develop, mentor, and place Black engineers in the industry that carries the country into orbit.
A home for Black engineers on the Space Coast.
Since six students founded NSBE in 1975, it has grown into one of the largest organizations led by and for Black engineers in the world. The Space Coast chapter was chartered in August 2024, in the same corridor that launches the country's rockets.
We are dedicated to professional development, mentoring, and career placement for engineers and technical professionals, and we build partnerships with the companies, agencies, and collegiate chapters across the region.
Engineering in practice
NSBE began with six students at Purdue University and a conviction that engineering belonged to them too.
Members across collegiate, professional, and junior chapters make NSBE one of the largest student governed organizations in the country.
The Space Coast professional chapter stood up at Cape Canaveral, where the industry it serves launches.
Talent, mentorship, and a launch pad.
We turn ambition into engineering careers through a clear path: skills, connections, and the people who have walked it before you.
