About us
The Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE, pronounced "SHIP") is a national non-profit organization that is focused on the concept of networking toward improving oneself professionally. The DC chapter of SHPE was established in 1988 to bring together like minded professionals in SHPE's 6 pillars - Career development, leadership development, professional development, chapter "familia" development, STEM pipeline development (professional-student chapter interaction), and community service. SHPE is open to all professionals (not only engineers and not only Latinxs) who share SHPE's mission of changing lives by empowering the Hispanic community to realize its fullest potential and to impact the world through STEM awareness, access, support and development.

Happy 50th birthday to us! 👏 In 1974, SHPE was officially incorporated, its first office listed as a post office box in Los Angeles. Rod Garcia served as the first president of the organization, which initially focused its efforts in Southern California. Administrators, professors, and students at California State University, East Los Angeles College, and the University of Southern California founded SHPE’s first collegiate chapters.
