Section 2 Names for membership in this organization may be proposed by the membership committee or by recommendation of any member of Eta Kappa Nu.

Section 3 No undergraduate shall be eligible for consideration for election to membership unless he or she has been in regular attendance at Missouri University of Science and Technology for at least one semester prior to the time of consideration.

  1. A junior is classified as having completed one half of the requirements for an electrical or computer engineering degree. To be eligible for membership, a junior must rank in the upper quarter of their electrical and computer engineering classes. A minimum of twelve credit hours of ECE courses must have been completed with a grade of C or better. This must include EE2100, EE2120 and CpE2210. The E.E. and CompE transfer seminar is not to be counted among these 12 hours.
  2. A senior is classified as having completed three fourths of the requirements for an electrical or computer engineering degree. To be eligible for membership, a senior must rank in the upper one third of their electrical and computer engineering classes.

Section 4 No graduate student shall be eligible for consideration for election to membership unless he or she is in good academic standing and has been in regular attendance at Missouri University of Science and Technology for at least one semester prior to the time of consideration.

Section 5 The scholastic standing of prospective members shall be determined by the Cumulative Grade Point Average (including off campus courses) at the time of consideration for membership.

Section 6 It shall be the aim of the Gamma Theta Chapter of Eta Kappa Nu that its members continuously shall keep in touch with the records, ability and personality of all undergraduate students in Electrical and Computer Engineering (by committee, if the number is too many for the entire membership). Thus, students deficient in good qualities may be induced to correct these deficiencies, and when time comes to elect new members, the members of the chapter will know all the candidates.

Section 7 At the discretion of the membership, a candidate shall be interviewed before the election meeting. Such interviews shall be held at a time that is convenient to both the candidate and the members. The purpose of the interview is to acquaint the members with the candidate, and it must be conducted in a dignified and serious manner, conforming to the ideals and aims of the Association.

Section 8 At the discretion of the Chapter, a list of all eligible students may be made and presented to the members on the Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty (a separate list for each Faculty member) for these to indicate their opinion of the eligible students. The Chair of the Membership Committee shall collate all these opinions in one composite report suitable for use at the election.

Section 9 Previous to the formal election of candidates, a get-together of the eligible students and the members shall be held. If desirable, this may be in the form of a "smoker."

Failure to attend this social affair, for any reason, shall not prejudice the candidate's opportunity for election, provided he appears at an interview at a mutually convenient date.

Section 10 Eligible students shall be elected to pledging (candidates) on the basis of the following three considerations:

  1. Scholastic rank in Electrical and/or Computer Engineering class as heretofore and hereinafter provided.
  2. Extra-curricular activities and/or outside work.
  3. Personality and character, without regard to gender, sexual preference, race, religion, or political belief.

Section 11 At the election meeting, the eligible students shall be discussed and voted on. Faculty comments and reports of the interviewing committees may be given and comments of members stated. The vote on the candidates is then taken by secret ballot and tallied, unless another means of voting is agreed upon by the membership in attendance.

  1. Those receiving unanimous approval by all who vote on the first ballot are elected, provided that 75% of the active members in attendance vote.
  2. After the complete list of candidates has been discussed and a first vote taken, the list of eligible students who were not unanimously elected may be considered again. The Chair of the meeting, in asking for comments, shall give opportunity to those who voted negatively to express their reasons if they wish. If their reasons are personal, the Chair may suggest that the member abstain.
  3. A second ballot is taken on all eligible students who were not elected on the first ballot. Those who receive 75% approval and have no more than four negative votes on the second ballot shall be elected.
  4. Those who failed to be elected at any one election, are not disqualified from being considered at a subsequent election.

Section 12 Candidates shall be notified of their election individually (by mail), within 48 hours of the election. All letters shall be mailed simultaneously. The notice shall state the time and place of pledging.

Section 13 Candidates are elected contingent on their completion of the pledge requirements to the satisfaction of the pledge chair. The pledge requirements must be completed by the date and time specified by the pledge chair which shall in no case be later than 48 hours prior to the initiation ceremony. The pledge chair will report the failure of any pledge to complete the requirements to the executive committee. Any pledge who fails to complete the requirements will be dropped unless a 3/5 majority of the executive committee votes to keep them. If the decision made by the executive committee is appealed, it may be overturned by a 2/3 vote of the active chapter membership.

Section 14 Candidates elected shall be pledged within seven weeks from the election, simultaneously, and in a dignified manner. To be initiated into Eta Kappa Nu, a pledge must meet the following requirements:

  1. Attend an interview
  2. Complete a pledge plaque (optional for graduate students)
  3. Complete two HKN Workdays
  4. A test over the basics of Electrical and Computer Engineering must be passed satisfactorily.
