Welcome to SHPE-MC
On behalf of the 2009-2010 E-Board, We would like to welcome you to the official site of Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, Manhattan College Chapter (SHPE-MC). SHPE promotes the development of Hispanics in engineering, science and other technical professions in order to achieve academic excellence, professional development, and social equality.
Our E-Board consists of Manhattan College students from different majors and backgrounds. We take pride in our diversity and believe it is fundamental to the success of the chapter and the development of our members. Moreover, we have been recognized by Manhattan College as the "Best Co-Curricular Club" for seven consecutive years! We hope to continue being the best co-curricular club by bringing the best to our membership.
This year, we would like all of our members to be able to take full advantage of the whole SHPE experience; such as networking with Regional Chapters and professionals, attending the National Conference and participating in our activities.
For more information about SHPE-MC, please stop by our office in the Leo Cafeteria or call (718) 862-7820 and one of our E-Board members will gladly assist you.
About Us
The Manhattan College SHPE Chapter was incorporated in 1991. It initially co-existed with the school’s National Society of Black Engineers chapter as a joint club for a few years prior to separation. The development of the membership in the chapter has fluctuated from year to year.This year, we intend to revive the chapter and demonstrate just what SHPE can offer each and every member. 
In the year, 2004, we changed our logo as shown right above the page. With the logo, there was a change in attitude on how SHPE-Manhattan was going to be organized. The idea was to administer this organization as a business where our customers were you and our active members. This outlook is still alive today. The SHPE-MC 2009 eboard wants to fulfill your needs because without you, there is no SHPE. Therefore, you, the member,is our first priority. The executive board took into consideration many of our past and current members' ideas in order to provide our membership with even more opportunities. Marketing is a second priority; SHPE-MC wants to extend its hand out to the rest of the Manhattan College community, particularly the freshmen. We want to continue to diversify our membership and welcome everyone. Finally, community service events were made a priority, which justified our chapter as one that cares about the community.
When setting our goal for the amount of members we should have, we chose thirty. We are hoping you can help us reach that goal and help us continue to grow. Potential members are always welcome!We have monthly general meetings with guest speakers from different companies. Our first general meeting on September 23rd in Leo 214, we will have a speaker from Malcolm Pirnie. We hope to see you all there and remember to bring your raffle ticket! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact any e-board member. Thank you and we hope we have a great SHPE year!
