Welcome to SHPE INDIANA

Our mission is to serve as role models, foster education among Hispanics and be the source of Hispanic Scientific and Engineering talent in Indiana.

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. The objective was to create a national organization of engineers to serve as role models in the Hispanic community.

In the same manner, with the same mission and following the example of our founding padres, a group of successful Hispanic professionals across the state of Indiana founded SHPE Indiana on June 30, 2006.

SHPE Indiana members receive the benefits of becoming members of the most prestigious scientific and engineering Hispanic professional organization, business networking, discounts to top notch educational and professional seminars, career development workshops as well as access to a network of leading companies searching for top Hispanic professional talent and involvement to community events.

We are a group of successful professionals wanting to make a difference with the growing Hispanic community in the state of Indiana. We work with young students and do believe that education continues to be the easy path to the American dream.
