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. Our UVa chapter serves to further these beliefs through our academic, professional, and recreational events on-grounds. We hope to expand our influence to all facets of the Charlottesville area and create a community that is Hispanic-inclusive, not exclusive.
