About Us
The American Society of Civil Engineers, the oldest national professional engineering society, was founded in 1852 with an objective to enhance the welfare of humanity by advancing the science and profession of civil engineering. More than 150,000 individual ASCE members are engaged in engineering education, research, public agency, industrial, construction, and private engineering practice. An elected Board of Direction governs ASCE. The Society's mission, goals and objectives are implemented by a structure of volunteers in 10 Regions, 93 Sections, 155 Branches, and over 330 Student Chapters.
