About Us

Our History

Eta Kappa Nu (HKN) is an electrical and computer engineering honors society affiliated with IEEE. Our chapter, the Gamma Theta Chapter, was founded on April 26, 1952 at Missouri University of Science and Technology. There were 24 Charter members that formed the Theta Mu organization in order to petition for membership into Eta Kappa Nu. Since this time the Gamma Theta chapter has had a rich and varied history.

  • 1958 Fall inductees (24 undergraduate and 2 graduate)

Our Mission

The Gamma Theta Chapter of Eta Kappa Nu at Missouri S&T is one of the most active professional honor societies on our campus. We welcome several high-performing students every semester, along with graduate students and professional members.

Our focus is to provide students in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department the opportunities to develop skills and network. We offer numerous resources in our student project lab, ranging from study materials to electrical tools. These tools allow students to work on personal projects and gain design experience outside of their courses. We also serve the local community by partnering with non-profit organizations, and educational outreach programs.

Our Values

We honor the Three Pillars of HKN: Scholarship, Character, and Attitude. All of our members have been shown to possess outstanding academic abilities, unimpeachable character, and positive attitudes.
