== OVERVIEW ==

[[File:ASEE.png]]

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">ASEE is a non-profit based in D.C dedicated to promoting and improving engineering and engineering technology education. ASEE is a large organization with more than&nbsp;12,000 members, including deans, department heads, faculty members, students, and government. Since its founding in 1893, ASEE has made tremendous strides in academic excellence by establishing a plethora of programs and policies create innovative opportunities for members of the engineering field. Some additional&nbsp;information&nbsp;you can find in the video by clicking on this [https://www.youtube.com/user/ASociety4Engineering link].</span></span>

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></span>

== PURPOSE ==

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">ASEE has stated that their purpose is to foster "the advancement of education in all of its functions which pertain to engineering and allied branches of science and technology, including the processes of teaching and learning, counseling, research, extension services and public relations."</span></span>

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The ASEE's mission to further education in engineering and engineering technology is executed through various methods:</span></span>

*<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">by promoting excellence in instruction, research, public service, and practice</span></span>
*<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">exercising worldwide leadership</span></span>
*<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">fostering the technological education of society</span></span>
*<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">providing quality products and service to its members</span></span>

=== Goals ===

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The ASEE was formed with the idea that engineering should focus on basic and necessary fundamental scientific and mathematical principles as an approach to engineering education.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">ASEE defines engineering education as "the full academic spectrum of instruction, research, scholarship, practice, and service". With that statement in mind, ASEE set up a list of goals:</span></span>

*<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Innovation</span></span>
*<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Excellence</span></span>
*<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Access</span></span>
*<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Advocacy and Public Policy</span></span>
*<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Communities</span></span>
*<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Communication</span></span>
*<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Diversity and Inclusion</span></span>

== DIFFERENCES FROM OTHER OFFERINGS<br/> ==

<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">ASEE is a unique organization. The three main differences from other offerings are:</span></span>

*<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">ASEE is the only engineering education organization dedicated to the professional needs of engineering educators across all disciplines.</span></span>
*<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">ASEE is the only national convener of important influencers through avenues from engineering and engineering technology deans to associate deans and corporate leaders.</span></span>
*<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">ASEE is the only convener of contest-winning high school students.</span></span>

== IMPACT ACHIEVED FOR STUDENTS AND CAMPUS<br/> ==

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">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. Besides, ASEE takes an active role in informing public policy in the government and private sector. ASEE also provides a communication link among corporations, government agencies, and educational institutions.</span></span>

=== STEM<br/> ===

<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">At Ohio Northern University the ASEE student chapter sets up STEM Days for middle schoolers once a semester. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">STEM Day is an entire school day dedicated to STEM activities. It allows college students from all STEM areas on campus to get involved with younger students and inspire them to become the leading innovators of their generation.</span></span></span>

=== Diversity Committee<br/> ===

<span style="font-size:small;">[[File:Diversity.png]]</span>

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">2014-2015 was the year of action of diversity organized by the Diversity Committee of ASEE. This year had the goal “to enable all members of ASEE to have the tools to acknowledge and discuss current problems and provide resources to make oneself into an advocate to actively change the engineering climate.” From that year on, ASEE organizes each year an award for the best diversity paper.</span></span>
