About UPE
UPE was first organized at Texas A&M University, College Station,
Texas, in 1967. The international organization now consists of
chapters in various colleges and universities in North America and
overseas.
The mission of UPE is to recognize academic excellence at both the
undergraduate and graduate levels in the Computing and Information
Disciplines.
UPE has received endorsements from the two largest professional
computing organizations in the world,
the
Association for Computing
Machinery (ACM) and the
IEEE
Computer Society (IEEE-CS).
The Marquette chapter of UPE was chartered in 2001, and inducts qualified
students from the computer science and computer engineering majors.
