Questions

Good to know.

Do I have to be an engineer?

No. SHPE welcomes professionals across science, technology, engineering, and math — and anyone who supports our mission.

Do I have to work for a certain company?

Not at all. Our members work across aerospace, construction, energy, tech, government, and more, all over the Metroplex.

What does it cost?

Most chapter events are free. SHPE National membership dues are [DUES AMOUNT] per year, and you can attend your first meeting without joining.

Where do events happen?

Across Fort Worth and the greater DFW area. Each event listing includes the venue, and many are after work hours.
