AISES is a national non-profit organization with over 150 university chapters and many professional chapters. We are dedicated to spiritual support, chapter development, academic assistance, and community awareness through our members and supporters.

The mission of NSBE is to increase the number of culturally responsible Black engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally and positively impact the community.

Hence, our objectives of the organization are to stimulate and develop student interest in the various engineering disciplines. We strive to increase the number of minority students studying engineering at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Our goal is to encourage members to seek advanced degrees in engineering or related fields and to obtain professional engineering certification and also encourage and advise minority youth in their pursuit of an engineering career.

NSBE is an organization built to promote public awareness of engineering and the opportunites for Blacks and other minorities in that profession and function as a representative body on issues and developments that affect careers of Black Engineers.

The CSM student chapter of the SASE is dedicated to the enhancement of Asian Pacific Americans in the engineering and scientific community. We strive to develop leaders who are educated in issues facing both Asian and non-Asian communities and promote the academic and professional success of our members. Our goal is to erase ignorance and maintain equality through empowerment and positive community impact.

SHPE is the leading social-technical organization whose primary function is to enhance and achieve the potential of Hispanics in engineering, math and science.

SHPE promotes the development of Hispanics in engineering, science and other technical professions to achieve educational excellence, economic opportunity and social equity. We are brought together by heritage, social responsibility and desire to improve the equality of all people through the use of science and technology. We value excellence in education, professional pursuits and leadership. We obtain excellence through integrity, empowerment, achievement, diversity and continuous improvement.

We will fulfill our mission by increasing educational opportunities, promoting professional and personal growth, carrying out our social responsibility to be involved in education, business and government issues and enhancing pride within our organization and reinforcing our reputation as a vital Hispanic organization.
