The Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers at the University of California, Irvine has impacted the lives of many students within the organization. Since the revival of the chapter in 2009, SHPE at UCI has grown significantly in both membership and recognition. The executive board members and general members grow by the five pillars of SHPE: Academics, Professional Development, Leadership Development, Chapter Development and Community Outreach. Company sponsors, such as Northrup Grumman, has provided the organization with sustenance, transportation, gadgets, and scholarship for SHPE UCI members. Through every success there is hard work, and through every hard work there are lessons learned. Though the chapter has improved, there is always room for improvements. As the mission states: SHPE changes lives by empowering the Hispanic community to realize its fullest potential and impact the world through STEM awareness, access, support and development. This school year, SHPE at UCI increased in membership, sponsorship, finance, committee, and job security.
