We present an overview of the Chandra ACIS Survey of M33 (ChASeM33): A DeepSurvey of the Nearest Face-on Spiral Galaxy. The 1.4 Ms survey covers thegalaxy out to $R \approx 18\arcmin (\approx 4$ kpc). These data provide themost intensive, high spatial resolution assessment of the X-ray sourcepopulations available for the confused inner regions of M33. Mosaic images ofthe ChASeM33 observations show several hundred individual X-ray sources as wellas soft diffuse emission from the hot interstellar medium. Bright, extendedemission surrounds the nucleus and is also seen from the giant \hii regions NGC604 and IC 131. Fainter extended emission and numerous individual sourcesappear to trace the inner spiral structure. The initial source catalog, arisingfrom $\sim$~2/3 of the expected survey data, includes 394 sources significantat the $3\sigma$ confidence level or greater, down to a limiting luminosity(absorbed) of $\sim$1.6\ergs{35} (0.35 -- 8.0 keV). The hardness ratios of thesources separate those with soft, thermal spectra such as supernova remnantsfrom those with hard, non-thermal spectra such as X-ray binaries and backgroundactive galactic nuclei. Emission extended beyond the Chandra point spreadfunction is evident in 23 of the 394 sources. Cross-correlation of the ChASeM33sources against previous catalogs of X-ray sources in M33 results in matchesfor the vast majority of the brighter sources and shows 28 ChASeM33 sourceswithin 10\arcsec of supernova remnants identified by prior optical and radiosearches. This brings the total number of such associations to 31 out of 100known supernova remnants in M33.
