What is SHPE?
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 key 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.
SHPE-RIT's Purpose
To promote the professional skills of its members by providing events such as Regional and National Conferences throughout the year, by having community service events that promote the leadership and scholarship of our members and by having workshops and informational meetings about RIT life.
