Pedro Lopez didn't really have anyone to look up to when he was growing up. There were not any Hispanics who he saw as mentors or leaders in his field of engineering in San Diego and Mexico during the mid-1970s through the mid-1990s.
But this engineer for the Navy is changing that, and others are taking notice.
In October of last year, Lopez, who is the utilities and energy management supervisory general engineer for Naval Facilities Engineering Command, took home one of the two Brillante Awards at the 38th annual Society of Mexican American Engineers and Scientists (MAES) conference.
