Northeastern University, Gamma Beta Chapter

Eta Kappa Nu (HKN) strives to assist its members and those in the broader Northeastern ECE community throughout their lives in becoming better professionals by encouraging its members to improve the standards of their profession, courses of instruction, and the institutions where they belong. In this spirit, we provide an array of services to Northeastern students, including free peer tutoring for core ECE courses.

HKN membership is selective. Prospective members, known as initiates, must be in the top third of their class by GPA and complete at least ten hours of service in a semester to demonstrate their character and attitude towards the community.

Northeastern HKN has provided me a great avenue through which I can give back to the greater electrical engineering community and refresh on my skills through tutoring.
