Remember, the first Institute membership is free and
additional Institute memberships are available for $20 each.
Which Institute is right for you?
Geo Institute
http://content.geoinstitute.org/
Founded October 1, 1996, G-I is focused on the geo-industry. Members
include scientists, engineers, technologists, and organizations
interested in improving the environment, mitigating natural hazards, and
economically constructing engineered facilities.
Structural Engineering Institute
http://content.seinstitute.org/
SEI began October 1, 1996 to serve the unique needs of the structural
engineering community more effectively while also being their voice on
broader issues that shape the entire civil engineering community.
Members include those in the structural engineering practice and
academia, therefore SEI provides networking opportunities while also
stimulating coordination and understanding between academia and
practicing engineers – thereby driving the practical application of
cutting edge research.
Architectural Engineering Institute
http://content.aeinstitute.org
AEI began October 1, 1998. Membership is open to both engineers and
architects who are involved in the construction, structural, electrical
and mechanical engineering of buildings. Students in architectural
engineering programs can also become members of AEI to take advantage of
the networking possibilities available through AEI.
Architectural engineers generally specialize in one of a number of
disciplines related to building design and construction including:
structural engineering; electrical engineering (with an emphasis on
building systems design); heating, ventilation and air conditioning;
lighting; or construction. Each specialty area requires very different
talents and responsibilities; however, all architectural engineers have
a common interest in buildings.
Environmental Water Resources Institute
http://content.ewrinstitute.org/
EWRI began October 1, 1999 and strives to be the leader for integrating
technical expertise and public policy into the planning, design,
construction, operation, management and regulation of environmentally
sound and sustainable infrastructure involving air, land and water
resources. EWRI membership includes professionals and engineers in the
broad spectrum of the environmental and water resources areas.
Coasts, Oceans, Ports, and Rivers Institute
http://content.coprinstitute.org/index.htm
Beginning October 1, 2000, COPRI's services were designed to complement
ASCE's traditional civil engineering base, and to attract new categories
of members (non-civil engineer allied professionals) who seek to enhance
their professional and technical development.
COPRI serves as the multi disciplinary and international leader in
improving the knowledge, teaching, development, and practice of civil
engineering and other disciplines working in waterway environments.
Construction Institute (CI)
http://content.constructioninst.org
Started in October 1, 2000, CI was the first national organization
designed to meet the needs of all individuals working within the
construction industry. Membership not only includes those persons
involved in building the construction project, designing the
construction project and teaching construction, but also equipment
suppliers, material suppliers, testing laboratories, bonding agencies,
insurance providers, financial firms, accounting firms, and legal firms
that support and contribute to the growth and development of the
construction industry.
Transportation and Development Institute
http://content.tanddi.org
Since October 1, 2002, the mission of the T&DI has been to promote the
interdependence of transportation, land development and the environment,
while uniting the disciplines of planning, design, construction,
operation, maintenance and research in support of sustainable
development. By providing a multidisciplinary focus for professional
communication, education and collaboration, the Institute strives to
enhance the professional knowledge and skills of its members so that
they may improve the quality of life. The Institute brings together
engineers, planners, industry representatives, citizen groups,
developers, public officials and others dedicated to improving
transportation and fostering appropriate development decisions at the
local, regional, state, national and international levels.
Engineering Mechanics Institute (EMI)
http://www.engmechinstitute.org
EMI, as the newest Institute, chartered October 1, 2007, represents engineering mechanics by serving the needs of the world-wide engineering community and promoting both research and application of scientific and mathematical principles to address a broad spectrum of existing and emerging engineering and societal problems. EMI replaces the former ASCE Engineering Mechanics Division.
