Yesterday
In 1980 the Associate Dean of the College of Engineering at UC Davis founded the Pilipino American Society of Engineers (PASE) in response to the increasing need for engineering support for minorities. Created within the College of Engineering, PASE, a non-profit organization, was established to unite the small but evident Filipino American engineering population at the UC Davis campus. In 1997, PASE officially changed its name to Pilipino Americans in Science and Engineering to expand to the needs of Filipino American Students in physical sciences.
Today
As PASE celebrates 27 years of serving the Filipino American community at UC Davis, the focus is now turning to the recruitment of more Filipino Americans and minorities to higher education in engineering and the physical sciences. From two students in the late 1970's to over one hundred today, the number of Filipino American students and faculty members in the College of Engineering continue to grow as well as their needs.
Tomorrow
As in the past, PASE will continue to stay committed to providing academic, professional, and social opportunities for engineering and physical science students by offering various workshops, academic support, and social activities to its members.
