The Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) represents STEM professionals and students. The group held its annual convention in Cleveland this year, with attendance up about 15 percent over last year. About 200 companies and universities were also there to recruit workers as well as students for graduate programs and internships. SHPE CEO Raquel Tamez says many Hispanic students are bilingual and that’s just one of several attributes recruiters like.
