??? Inspiring the Next Generation of Engineers! ??? Georgia Tech SHPE had the incredible opportunity to host the TEAMS Competition for local high school students! ???? Through hands-on challenges and real-world engineering problems, these students demonstrated the power of collaboration and innovation. It’s inspiring to see the next generation of STEM leaders in action, and we’re proud to support their journey toward a future in engineering! A huge thank you to all the volunteers, Georgia Tech alumni, and students who made this event a success! Looking forward to seeing these future engineers continue to thrive. ??

Introducing GT-SHPE’s new series???? In the Technical Workshop Series we will highlight the makerspaces on campus and inform students about their resources and opportunities! Last week we visited the?Flowers Invention Studio, where our members participated in a 3D Printing Workshop and went home with their very own 3D printed SHPE keychain! We are looking forward to learn more about what makerspaces offer, so stay tuned for Episode 2!

??? Happy National Engineers Week! ??? Engineering is all about innovation, impact, and transformation and at GT SHPE we honor that through our members. To celebrate, we asked our members to describe what engineering means to them! ?? Check out our video to see what inspires the future of engineering! ????

Last semester, GT-SHPE had the privilege of collaborating with Georgia Tech Society Of Black Engineers and Georgia Tech Society of Women Engineers to host an inspiring and impactful event. Together, we welcomed students from Osborne High School, Banneker High School, and Global Impact Academy STEM Magnet High School for a day dedicated to empowering the next generation of STEM leaders! The day was filled with exciting activities designed to spark curiosity and encourage underrepresented students to pursue STEM education and careers. Highlights included: ?? A tour of Georgia Tech makerspaces to explore cutting-edge tools, facilities, and resources available to college students to bring ideas to life. ?? A majors fair to gain insights from current college students into different career paths and areas of study. ??? A student panel to hear directly from diverse college students about their personal journeys, challenges, and successes in STEM fields. ?? A STEM activity of building roller coasters to encourage creativity, teamwork, problem-solving, and innovative thinking.

? GT SHPE Shines at the National Convention in Anaheim, California! ? This year, the Georgia Tech Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers attended the National Convention with a record-breaking 209 members—the largest delegation in our history! This achievement was made possible thanks to the unwavering support of Dean Raheem Beyah, Valentina De La Fe, and the incredible CEED Office, Cedric Trice, MBA, MPA and Veda Chandler, J.D.. ?? Our Accomplishments: - 64% of attendees secured at least one interview. - 240 interviews conducted during the convention. - 34 offers received on-site! A huge shoutout to our National Convention Logistics Team, Eliezer Zavala González and Catalina Segura, for their outstanding efforts in coordinating this event and ensuring it was a resounding success. Your dedication and hard work truly paid off! We’re so proud of our members for their professionalism, ambition, and drive to represent GT SHPE at the highest level. This convention highlighted not only our growth as a chapter in 36 years, but also our impact within the professional and academic community. Here’s to many more milestones together! ????

As part of our SHPE Jr. program, members visited Cristo Rey Jesuit High School High School to offer students valuable information about discovering careers, specifically in STEM. Our members mentored the students and offered them valuable advice about their career path at Tech. We hope you all learned a lot from this panel!

At the end of October, we hosted an impactful Career Forum, welcoming representatives from 9 leading companies to our campus for an exclusive networking event with our members. This forum provided a valuable opportunity for members to practice their networking skills before the National Convention. Thank you to our dedicated members and to all our sponsors (HDR, Caterpillar Inc., Bank of America, GE, Honeywell, Goldman Sachs, Intuit, Naval Nuclear Laboratory (FMP), and Arcadis) for making this event a success!

To conclude Hispanic Heritage Month, we created this video to showcase the importance of “fútbol” and how GT-SHPE students, besides reaching for professional and academic goals, are connected by this sport. The Mini World Cup, in collaboration with the?Intercultural Student Programs, is one of the key events that allows students to be reminded of home and play the sport that joins all Latin-American countries. A special thanks to Jorge Breton for all the effort put into organizing this event and for keeping the Mini World Cup tradition for so long. We are so proud of how much it has grown from the past 15 years, as other organizations are starting to participate in the event, such as GT-BRASA. We also want to thank CEED - Center for Engineering Education and Diversity at Georgia Tech and the Office of Minority Educational Development (OMED) for their ongoing support towards hispanic culture!

Last week, we had the incredible opportunity to host Sandra Cauffman, an inspiring Costa Rican leader who shared her remarkable journey with us. Despite facing numerous challenges, she persevered and is currently NASA’s Deputy Director for the Astrophysics Division. Her story deeply resonated with many SHPEtinas, encouraging them to pursue their dreams, just as Cauffman once dreamed of "going to the moon." This event was a milestone for our SHPEtinas program, inspiring our members to reach for the stars.
