The American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) seeks to increase the number of ASEE student chapters. However, about half of the student chapters formed over the past decade have failed to sustain enrollment and activity and are currently inactive. Recent research suggests that sustainability is based on the number of students available to a given chapter. Since the current model of ASEE student chapters is oriented towards graduate students entering academia, schools that do not place many students in faculty positions upon graduation should have different goals for their ASEE student chapters. Thus, we propose a new, more‐inclusive model for ASEE student chapters.
