About
SHPE de ASU
HISTORY & PURPOSE
In 1982, SHPE National had been in existence for over 10 years. It was this year that five Hispanic engineering students at Arizona State decided to form their own student chapter. Those five students grew in numbers quickly, and SHPE de ASU has since been a respected student chapter in the SHPE community. SHPE’s National Technical Career Conference had always been held in Los Angeles but was moved to Phoenix in the early 1990s thanks to a proposal written by the SHPE Phoenix Professional chapter.
The conference has since changed names but is still held in a different city each year.
The purpose of SHPE de ASU is to bring a sense of community to the Hispanic engineering students at Arizona State. We also seek to increase the number of Hispanics graduating with engineering degrees. We provide a network system which encourages students to persist and become role models in the Hispanic community.
