Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers - Drexel Chapter
About
SHPE's mission is to promote the development of Hispanics in engineering, science and other technical professions within the STEAM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) to achieve educational excellence, economic opportunity, and social equity. We fulfill this Mission by increasing educational opportunities, promoting professional and personal growth and reinforcing our reputation as a vital Hispanic organization. We also carry out our social responsibility to be involved in education, business and enhancing pride within our organization.
The Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (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 community.
The concept of networking was the essential basis for the organization. SHPE quickly established two student chapters to begin the network that would grow to encompass the nation as well as reach countries outside the United States. Today, SHPE enjoys a strong but independent network of professional and student chapters throughout the nation. By expanding at an aggressive pace and currently includes 170 student chapters with more than 5300 student members and 42 professional chapters with over 1500 professional members.
The Drexel University Chapter was founded in 1992, by a group of engineers who sought the need to expand SHPE to the university. The student chapter was very active on campus and in the community until it became inactive in 2011. Fresh in 2014-15, we are growing our presence again and plan to re-establish the student chapter that was already in existence while continuing to expand SHPE throughout Drexel University.
