Eta Kappa Nu or HKN is an Honors Society part of IEEE. HKN is made up of high-achieving students and meets regularly with the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECEN) department. The IEEE student branch fosters a community of Electrical and Computer Engineers that HKN monitors and helps the department create a better program for students. HKN also plans major department outings that include students, this includes the ECEN Open House. We also plan a mentorship program, which pairs underclassmen with upperclassmen to mentor them through their early years and occasionally sell ECEN department merchandise. The University of Nebraska HKN chapter, Beta Psi, comprises students from both the Omaha and Lincoln campuses.
Joining Eta Kappa Nu
Near the middle of the spring semester, HKN will send an invitation out to Electrical and Computer Engineering students. The top third of the junior class by credit and the top fourth of the senior class by credit will be invited to join the HKN chapter at Nebraska. If you receive this invitation, please follow the instructions provided to join.
