Welcome to the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers at UMBC!

The goal of UMBC’s chapter of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers is to perpetuate the mission of SHPE National on campus while bolstering more inclusive engineering and scientific communities where all demographics are represented as leaders. We work towards this goal by promoting active discussion, sponsoring community service events, and hosting joint social events with like-minded organizations on campus.

Today, SHPE makes a big impact. We’re the largest association in the nation for Hispanics in STEM. We meet each of our student and professional members where they are—offering effective training, mentorship, and programming for our vibrant community.

SHPE’s growth isn’t slowing down anytime soon. As we continue to expand our membership, programs, and partnerships, we’re guided by a clear mission, a bright vision, and the core values demonstrated by our founders.
