What is OXE?

Omega Chi Epsilon (OXE) is the National Honor Society for Chemical Engineering. The Society promotes high scholarship, encourages original investigation in chemical engineering and recognizes the valuable traits of character, integrity and leadership.

At NJIT, our Eta Chapter is dedicated to helping our fellow chemical engineering students, whether it be through tutoring or networking opportunities. We work closely with NJIT's AIChE student chapter for this purpose.

Our motto is: "Ode Chrototos Eggegramai" which means "In this Society, professionalism is engraved in our minds."

We have 5 objectives, represented by the symbols on our key:

1. Recognition: to recognize excellence in chemical engineering;

2. Investigation: to promote original investigation and innovation in chemical engineering;

3. Service: to provide service to the chemical engineering department or school and its student body;

4. Comradeship: to promote comradeship among chemical engineering.

5. Professionalism: to promote honesty, integrity and social responsibility: the hallmarks of professional ethics.

Each semester our department nominates the top percentage of chemical engineering students in their junior and senior years to join our organization based on their academic standing.
