The History of Alpha Pi Mu
Alpha Pi Mu was the brainchild of James T. French who in 1949 was a senior industrial engineering student at Georgia Tech. Nine men chosen through their affiliation with the Georgia Tech Chapter of Tau Beta Pi constituted the original membership of Alpha Pi Mu. Alpha Pi Mu is the only nationally accepted industrial engineering honor society. The Georgia Tech engineers who led the initial developmental work wanted an organization to provide a common ground on which their outstanding young engineers could exchange ideas, and to provide experiences which could help their future professional development.
The Goals of Alpha Pi Mu
Our purpose is to confer recognition upon students of Industrial and Systems
Engineering who have shown exceptional academic interest and abilities
in their field, to encourage the advancement and quality of Industrial
and Systems Engineering education, and to unify the student body of the
Industrial Engineering department in presenting its needs and ideals to
the faculty.
