Asee Student Members’ Needs Analysis: Implications For The Asee Student Constituent Committee

The American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) attracts student members, but until recently they were not formally organized and as a consequence their role within the national organization was unclear. To help clarify their role and interests, a survey of ASEE student member needs was conducted by the Student Constituent Committee (SCC). An invitation to participate in a web survey was sent to all student members of ASEE (N=635). Ninety-seven (15%) students responded to the invitation. Ninety-three percent of respondents were graduate students. This paper presents the aggregate results of all 97 respondents. It includes a profile of survey participants, motivations for joining the ASEE, experiences with the ASEE, interests and suggestions. Additionally, this paper will discuss the implications those results had on the SCC Executive Board's immediate plans for the 2009-2010 year, as well as on the longer term strategic plan of the SCC.
