Curricular Responsibilities

Lead Society for General Engineering, Engineering Physics and Engineering Science

Engineers use their imagination and analytical skills to invent, design, and build things that matter. They are team players with independent minds. Engineers are changing the world all the time by dreaming up creative and practical solutions.

ASEE is a non-profit organization which brings together engineering educators from all of the engineering and engineering technology fields to collaborate on solutions to promote excellence in instruction, research, public service, and practice.

Founded in 1893, the American Society for Engineering Education is committed to furthering education in engineering and engineering technology by:

  • promoting excellence in instruction, research, public service, and practice;
  • exercising worldwide leadership;
  • fostering the technological education of society; and
  • providing quality products and services to members.

In pursuit of academic excellence, ASEE develops policies and programs that enhance professional opportunities for engineering faculty members, and promotes activities that support increased student enrollments in engineering and engineering technology colleges and universities. Strong communication and collaboration with national and international organizations further advances ASEE's mission.

ASEE also fulfills its mission by providing a valuable communication link among corporations, government agencies, and educational institutions. ASEE's 14,000+ members include deans, department heads, faculty members, students, and government and industry representatives who hail from all disciplines of engineering and engineering technology.

ASEE’s organizational membership is composed of more than 400 engineering and engineering technology colleges and affiliates including a number of institutions outside of the United States, more than 50 corporations, and numerous government agencies and professional associations. ASEE directs many of its efforts at providing for open and ongoing dialogues among these groups.
