Organization Information

The Society of Mexican American Engineers and Scientists (MAES) was founded in 1974 for the purpose of increasing the number of Mexican Americans and other Hispanics in the technical and scientific fields. Originally, the focus was on the professions, but as the organization grew, so did the scope of its activities and interests. The Society now represents the Mexican American community in the all-important technological arena on issues related to education, economics, environment and research. As a mature organization with a national membership representing all the engineering and scientific disciplines, the society now has turned its focus on the youth of our people. Many of its programs, with the financial help of members, companies and government agencies, are now directed at increasing the number of students at all grade levels who will study and prepare to enter our technical professions.

We strive to:

  • Provide leadership to help the student advance his/her academic, social, and professional objectives.
  • Instill in the student of CSULB the desire to improve oneself, as well as others, scholastically, professionally, and socially.
  • Provide the student with opportunities for association and interaction with possible future employers, community members, and CSULB faculty and administration.
