EPT是一个由学生组成的荣誉组织，他们根据学习成绩被邀请加入。 As part of the honor of being inducted into EPT, they have their “superior academic performance” recognized by other 太阳城娱乐官网 students. The “recognition of their exemplary efforts during their academic career” will carry over to their professional lives after they graduate. 作为大学荣誉社团协会的认证成员，EPT为其成员提供了精英团体的一部分。

奥伯米尔博士延续了1929年在俄亥俄州立大学创立的这个组织的传统。 EPT strives to recognize and promote excellence in a student’s academic life and throughout their professional career. 它是一个国际荣誉协会，是为那些从事技术行业的人。 Dr. Obermier describes EPT as “not a typical student organization.” He states that the members of EPT are “technical-focused students who have excelled in their respective programs.” Obermier博士是信息网络法律和公共政策方面的专家，他在全州学生组织SkillsUSA担任协调员多年，并在网络系统学生组织担任协调员多年。 Ben Brachle博士也是工业技术系的教授，担任EPT的联合受托人。
