History
Latinos in Science and Engineering (MAES) was founded in Los Angeles in 1974 to increase the number of Latinos in the technical and scientific fields. Today, MAES is nationwide organization whose mission is to promote, cultivate, and honor excellence in education and leadership among Latino engineers and scientists. By providing a networking and nurturing environment, members are able to develop and hone their leadership, communication, management, and technical skills while improving the educational state of America. MAES membership includes both students, and professionals throughout the United States from many backgrounds.
MAES was founded at Purdue on March 24, 2009 by four student leaders: Hermes Perez, Javier Esquivel, Vicente Garcia, and Alejandro Villanueva. Since then, MAES has been growing strong reaching out to not only Latino-Americans, but other ethnic groups on campus. We have been involved in many events and programs, including professional development, networkingthrough corporate sponsors, cultural enrichment, and engineering/science based competitions. Most importantly, MAES has been able to create the "familia" feeling for its diverse membership.
