History

Computing Sciences is a relatively young discipline. Yet despite its comparative youth, Computing Science has had an unparalleled effect on almost every aspect of contemporary life. Indeed it is difficult to predict the ultimate place of the computer in our world. It is the express purpose of Upsilon Pi Epsilon to promote the Computing Sciences and to encourage its contribution to the enhancement of knowledge.

 

UPE was first organized at Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, in 1967. The international organization now consists of chapters in various colleges and universities in North America and overseas.

 

The mission of UPE is to recognize academic excellence at both
the undergraduate and graduate levels in the Computing and Information Disciplines. UPE is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies (ACHS).


UPE is the first and only, existing international honor society in the Computing and Information Disciplines.

It has received endorsements from the two largest computerorganizations in the world, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the IEEE Computer Society (IEEE-CS).

 

UPE is a tax-exempt corporation under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS Code.
