Pilipinos in Engineering Society (PIES) was founded in 1993 to address the needs of Pilipino Engineering students at UCLA, as this population was considered too few for the Pilipino groups that focused on Letters & Science students and too many by current Engineering groups that offer assistance to minority students.  PIES aims to provide the resources and community for students in this demographic.  In 2016, PIES was renamed Pilipinos in Engineering and Science to expand their reach to Pilipino students from all STEM fields and offer support across this spectrum.

Get to Know PIES

PIES is dedicated to creating opportunities for Pilipinos in STEM. With Pilipinos underrepresented in the engineering, applied sciences, and technology sectors, PIES strives for the academic retention and success of its general members, in addition to personal growth and cultural learning. To do so, PIES focuses its membership and activities to address its 4 pillars:
​
PILIPINO

• PIES fosters understanding and appreciation of Pilipino culture and community, while promoting universal respect for all cultures of the world.

INNOVATION

• PIES envisions a general membership that flourishes from the ability to create, turning ideas into reality.  PIES gives each student the opportunity to further their talents as much as possible, STEM-related or otherwise.

EDUCATION

• PIES offers an environment where students have the support, resources, and confidence to navigate through the competitive world of STEM, both in and out of the classroom.

SOCIAL

• In addition to career-centric pursuits, PIES aspires to build a close, welcoming community and support system for its general members that embodies the strong familial sentiment found within Pilipino families and other Pilipino organizations on campus.
