About the Hawaii Sigma Pi Chapter
Interest in Pi Tau Sigma, kindled by Professor Hi Chang Chai, a member of
Pi Tau Sigma, motivated a group of qualified upperclassmen in mechanical
engineering to petition for a charter in the summer of 1968. The petition was
approved by the National Council and the various chapters. On January 28,
1969, the charter was formally granted by National President Donald R.
Haworth, former National President E. Kent Springer, and former National
Vice-President Niles H. Barnerd at the traditional installation ceremony.
This event was culminated with a banquet.
Hawaii Sigma Pi soon became an active body within the College of
Engineering working energetically with the various other engineering
organizations. Completed projects over the past years have included displays
at various State functions, numerous field trips as well as a few money making
projects. The chapter actively participates in the sponsoring of Open House
during Engineering Week providing numerous displays as well as guided tours.
In all of this chapter's endeavors, the major goals are the maintenance of the
high ideals of Pi Tau Sigma, the betterment of the mechanical engineering
department, and the promotion of student scholarship.
