There's a new student chapter on campus. The American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) is now a Registered Student Organization at Illinois, making it the 18th student chapter nationally. It will start recruiting members in Fall 2009. ASEE furthers engineering education by promoting excellence in instruction, research, public service and practice.

The move to register the chapter began after a group of engineering students visited Olin College in Needham, Massachusetts, for the Summit on the Engineer of the Future 2.0. Planned activities include a lunch seminar series and presentations by faculty on topics concerning engineering education. The group is also planning to participate in activities with a variety of like-minded programs on campus, such as iFoundry and the Campus Center for Teaching Excellence. Students. Students interested in joining ASEE, should contact the Membership Officer, Elizabeth Van Ruitenbeek or click here. Current members are encouraged to register with the National ASEE Organization.
