The
Society for Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) Annual Pre-College
Symposium: November 16, 2012 at UTD. The event is held in
conjunction with the Annual SHPE professional Conference (which is in Fort
Worth this year) to support middle and high school students’ exploration
of college and STEM careers. SHPE is interested in getting
as many DFW students to participate as possible. A Texas donor has provided
the funds for the first 800 students to attend at NO
COST.
High School: SHPE
will provide a day of workshops and presentations for high school students to
gain valuable knowledge about career opportunities in the fields of Science,
Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) and a college fair where they will
talk to college representatives. They will also tour the campus of UT at
Dallas.
Middle School: SHPE
will provide hands-on workshops that will
introduce middle school students to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math
(STEM) fields to inspire them to pursue careers in such fields.
