The society recognises deserving faculty, staff and student members from all disciplines across the campus.
Texas A&M University at Qatar (TAMUQ) recently hosted its initiation of the engineering university’s sixth honour society, Phi Kappa Phi.
The oldest and largest of all academic honour societies in the US, Phi Kappa Phi recognises deserving faculty, staff and student members from all disciplines across the campus.
Reinforcing its mission of supporting academic excellence, TAMUQ is now home to six student chapters of some of the world’s most prestigious honour societies, including one that marks the first international chapter.
The six societies are Phi Kappa Phi, Tau Beta Pi, engineering; Omega Chi Epsilon, chemical engineering; Eta Kappa Nu, electrical engineering; Pi Tau Sigma, mechanical engineering; and Pi Epsilon Tau, petroleum engineering.
At TAMUQ, more than 95 junior and senior students have been inducted as members of these honour societies since 2011.
Mohamed al-Kharusi, petroleum engineering graduate from the Class of 2013, said: “These honour societies are the first of their kind in the Middle East. I am honoured to be selected by this international fraternity for my academic achievement and am proud to represent Aggie engineers in this part of the world.”
“The six international honour societies reflect the outstanding quality of our engineering programmes. We are proud to recognise the achievements of our top students through their membership in these elite organisations,” said Dr Hamid Parsaei, associate dean for academic affairs.
