Dedicated to the purpose of maintaining and promoting the status of civil
engineering as an ideal profession, Chi-Epsilon was organized to recognize the
characteristics of the individual civil engineer deemed to be fundamental
to the successful pursuit of an engineering career, and to aid in the
development of those characteristics in the civil engineering student.
Engineering, the application of scientific principles to the practical
needs of society, is assuming a constantly increasing responsibility for
the well-being of all people, and thus calling for competence of the
highest order. This responsibility can be discharged only by a professional
group whose members are possessed of a good basic technical ability,
intelligence, moral integrity, and effective social poise in their
relationship with the larger community of which they are part. To
contribute to the improvement of the profession, Chi Epsilon fosters the
development and exercise of sound traits of character and technical ability
among civil engineers, and its members, by precept and example, toward an
ever higher standard of professional service.
