ETA National Technical Honor Society ChapterETA now serves as an honorary chapter for individuals and schools who do not have an NTHS chapter. Individuals who meet the criteria can be nominated to join the National Technical Honor Society.

Credentials/Requirements: A person must have demonstrated a degree of academic excellence in one of four (4) ways: 1. Completed at least 12 semester hours in electronics or telecommunications in a 12-month period while maintaining a 3.8 GPA on a 4.0 system, or its equivalent. The 12 semester hours must have been earned in at least three separate courses. 2. Completed 240 contact hours in electronics or telecommunications within a 12 month period while maintaining a 90% average. The 240 contact hours must represent at least three separate courses. 3. Completed four (4) separate ETA certifications with a 90% average within a 12-month period. 4. High school students must be enrolled in a technology program that can result in an ETA certification. They must have completed one (1) year in the program while maintaining a 3.5 overall average, and a 3.7 average in the technical program.

The instructor or resident CA will nominate deserving students. After the student has filled out and signed the application and information sheet, the instructor or resident CA will attach all required documents, sign the application, and make a short recommendation endorsement. Upon receipt of the application, the ETA advisor will check the application for completeness and eligibility. The Advisor will record receipt of the application, check it for completeness and eligibility, and take one of two actions: 1. If it is found that the application is complete and that the applicant is eligible, the Advisor will concur with the application, sign it, and forward it to the NTHS for action. 2. If it is found that the application is either incomplete or that the applicant is not eligible, the Advisor will give a nonoccurrence, sign the application, and return it with an explanation to the recommending official. Upon receipt of all materials and approval from the National Technical Honor Society, a recognition package will be sent to the nominating official for presentation. That official will then arrange for a suitable presentation.More about NTHS: |
