Upsilon Pi Epsilon (UPE) is the International Honor Society for the Computing and Information Disciplines. Please refer to the UPE organization's web site for details. This page is meant to introduce UPE as well as to contain links to members and activities. The School of Computing at Clemson University was the first University or College in South Carolina to establish a UPE Chapter, therefore, we are referred to as the Alpha Upsilon Pi Epsilon Chapter in South Carolina.

The computing and information disciplines are relatively young. Yet despite their comparative youth, the computing and information disciplines have had an unparalleled effect on almost every aspect of contemporary life. Indeed it is difficult to predict the ultimate place of the computer in our world. It is the express purpose of Upsilon Pi Epsilon (UPE) to promote the computing and information disciplines and to encourage their contribution to the enhancement of knowledge. 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. UPE is the first and only, existing international honor society in the Computing and Information disciplines. The mission of UPE is to recognize academic excellence at both the undergraduate and graduate levels in the Computing and Information Disciplines. UPE is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies (ACHS). UPE has received endorsements from the two largest computer organizations in the world, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the IEEE Computer Society (IEEE-CS).
