ASEE Affirmative Action Statement

Since our nation's birth in 1776, we have made halting progress in pursuing "equality for all." From emancipation and adoption of the Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment in the late 1800s to the civil rights movement in the 1960s and Supreme Court rulings on affirmative action this millennia, our nation has openly and caustically struggled to reconcile its heterogeneity with its founding principle to "form a more perfect Union."

ASEE Board Statement on Instruction on Race, Gender, and Sexuality Topics in Engineering Courses

An increasing number of state legislatures within the United States are considering and passing legislation aimed at restricting the teaching of so-called “divisive concepts” at the pre-college level.  Even more worrisome, some states are now expanding these restrictions to the collegiate level[i].  We find these efforts to be concerning because they may degrade the quality of engineering and engineering technology education.
