JETS Spotlight — Professional Society

Founded in 1852, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) represents more than 139,000 members of the civil engineering profession worldwide, and is America's oldest national engineering society. ASCE is committed to building a better world by design by addressing the prominent issues of our time—the recovery and rebuilding of Louisiana, the security of America's vital infrastructure, the shrinking talent pool of U.S. students, diversity in the workforce and academia, advancement of women in the civil engineering profession, and innovative pre-college outreach efforts.
