SHPE UTRGV

SHPE UTRGV WELCOME TO SHPE. Uniting students in STEM. Join the familia! The concept of Networking was the key basis for the organization.

SHPE changes lives by empowering the Hispanic community to realize its fullest potential and to impact the world through STEM awareness, access, support and development. 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. 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. Founded before the 1990’s, The Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers at the now named, The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley has been providing Professional and Leadership Development opportunities for its students since its establishment. Our local SHPE Chapter prides itself in its ability to enable and change lives by giving students in STEM professional opportunities to advance in life.
