Professional Engineers (SHPE) website |
SHPE is a social-technical organization whose primary function is to enhance and achieve the potential of Hispanic and Latino students in engineering, math, and science. SHPE was founded in Los Angeles, California, in 1974 by a group of engineers employed by the city of Los Angeles. Their objective was to form a national organization of professional engineers to serve as role models in the Hispanic and Latino communities. The concept of Networking was the key basis for the organization. Today, SHPE enjoys a strong but independent network of professional and student chapters.
Missouri S&T’s student chapter of SHPE engages in activities that develop its members' leadership skills and professional experience and activities that increase community involvement in our vision.
