SHPE History
Engineering in the Hispanic World goes back thousands of years. In Central America, the Aztecs and the Maya built large cities with awe-inspiring pyramids. In South America, the Inca built cities and roads high in the mountains. On the Iberian Peninsula, Roman, Arabic, North African, and Spanish engineers built aqueducts, churches, cities, and cathedrals. Today, SHPE carries on that legacy through its mission to change lives by empowering the Hispanic community and promoting science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) awareness, access, support, and development.

SHPE changes lives by empowering the Hispanic community to realize its fullest potential and to impact the world through STEM awareness, access, support, and development.
