What’s the difference between an ASEE Division and Commission?

Divisions connect members by professional interests. Commissions connect all of ASEE in service of ASEE priorities.

American Society for Engineering Education consists of 55* member divisions. While only 1 division focuses on pre-college, and 3 divisions focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion, ASEE wants all divisions to strive to advance DEI and pre-college engineering education.

To facilitate this emphasis, ASEE created two commissions.

  1. Commission on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
  2. Commission on P-12 Engineering Education

Commissions work across and with all ASEE units and partners.

Commissions are open to everyone to participate.

Commissions support ASEE’s strategies and priorities by activating the vast network that is all of ASEE.

All 55-member divisions should have a representative on each commission.
