ASEE offers over fifty Divisions and constituent committees that span a wide variety of interests and highlight the breadth of opportunities available to you as an ASEE member. Members are invited to affiliate with any of these special interest groups, and to take an active part in their work.
The professional interests of the Society are many and varied. Individual members may become members of and participate in the activities of any division they wish, of which no more than six (6) may have no annual dues associated with them.
All divisions are grouped into five Professional Interest Councils (PICs), each reporting to a chairman who is a member of the Board of Directors. The responsibilities of these units are:

Professional Interest Councils By-Laws
Article I: PURPOSE
Section 1.
The purpose of ASEE Professional Interest Councils (PICs) are to serve as the broad focal point for interaction between educators of engineers, engineering technologists, industry or government, and represent their common interests on the ASEE Board of Directors.
Section 2.
The primary objectives of the PICs are to:
a. Establish and maintain liaison with other organizations concerned with professional and technical education.
b. Provide a formal organizational structure to promote, encourage, and facilitate ASEE activities pertaining to professional and technical education.
c. Provide a forum for the discussion of problems and exchange of information pertaining to professional and technical education related to engineering and engineering technology.
d. Identify mutual interests to serve as a basis for cooperation among education, industry, and government.
e. Assess and recommend the establishment of methods and practices affecting the education of engineers and engineering technologists.
f. Encourage close relationships among all individuals from academia, industry, and government engaged in engineering and engineering technology through the organization of programs of mutual interest at ASEE conferences (e.g., ASEE Annual Conference, mini Conferences sponsored by one or more Divisions, ASEE Section conferences).
g. Provide programs at meetings.
h. Actively support ASEE through promotion of individual memberships as well as educational, industrial, and governmental institutional members in the Society.
Section 3.
The Professional Interest Councils are committed to fostering collaborative and inclusive environments that value equity and celebrate diversity. The Professional Interest Councils commit to ensuring that we continually challenge ourselves to deepen and broaden our understanding of inequities, so that we are prepared to take action to transform our Councils, ASEE, our institutions, universities, and the whole of the engineering community. More information can be found on ASEE’s Statement on Diversity and Inclusiveness at https://diversity.asee.org/about/ and the ASEE SEFI Joint Statement on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
