Upsilon Pi Epsilon (UPE)
Robert F. Roggio · ACM SIGCSE Bulletin · 1990
It is the role of the university and programs in computer science to provide a quality education in the computing sciences. These activities clearly imply the need to expose the students to the professional societies, such as ACM, IEEE-CS, and DPMA, as appropriate. But in addition, recognition for outstanding scholarship is a must. While other major areas, such as engineering, mathematics, and business have societies through which outstanding students may be recognized for a number of years, the computer science honor society is relatively new.The purpose of this paper is to present not only the general features and organization of the honor society, but, most importantly, to demonstrate the impact of the society on the daily activities of computing science students.
