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.
The concept of Networking was the key basis for the organization. SHPE
quickly established two student chapters to begin the network that would
grow to encompass the nation as well as reach countries outside the United
States. Today, SHPE enjoys a strong but independent network of professional
and student chapters throughout the nation.

The Inland Empire SHPE Chapter is currently attempting to revamp. There is
a group that is going through the process of getting the organization to
be recognized as an official chapter of the national SHPE organization.
