Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers

In this session of The Engineering Career Coach Podcast, I speak with Barry Cordero, national president of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE). SHPE is the premier national organization aimed at increasing the number of Hispanics contributing to the nation’s innovation-and-technology future. As the national president of SHPE, Cordero focuses on SHPE programs and events to enable growth. Cordero also works as a full-time principal project engineer with Medtronic Inc., where, in addition to other accomplishments, he pioneered a systemic hands-on training program for all employees to engage in problem solving.

In this session, Cordero will provide specific strategies for getting the most out of your professional association membership.

  • How professional associations can help you achieve goals you wouldn’t achieve if you weren’t involved in them.
  • Why having a support group as an engineer or student can completely change your career for the better.
  • How assuming a leadership role in a professional association forces you to lead by influence and gives you invaluable experience for your resume.
  • What skills associations will give you that will directly help you in your engineering career.
