### No, it's better to keep it

Your goal is to present the information as clearly as possible to your reader and that may require to "repeat" the information in this case. Imagine that your reader doesn't really know what "Association for Computing Machinery at Manoa" is or means and that he basically is skipping every name, such as the name of this association. Your reader reads this as "I joined [something] to engage with people from different fields in computer science."

You can see that it's important to keep the last piece of information. Otherwise your reader might ask himself "What different fields? Are we talking about different fields in a science-related sense or are we talking about physical fields?" My teachers were always picky like this. Yours may not be as picky, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
