Currently Featured in the eNews:Dear Members and Friends of ASEM, Lately, at every turn, it seems the world is collapsing….war, turmoil, political unrest, economic instability, and overall unpredictability of what tomorrow may bring. It is in these times of uncertainty that we must renew our commitment not only to profession but also to service and humanity. As engineers, academics, and practitioners of our discipline we bear the responsibility to shape the present and the future with our hands, minds, and actions. Designing the cities of tomorrow, tackling complex and challenging engineering problems of our times, and discovering groundbreaking technologies are in vain if the core fabric of our society is so fragile that it can easily be torn and destroyed. We can band together to move the world forward and in a positive direction; one that helps not only a few, but many; a direction that builds community, resilience, and strength for our fragile friends and neighbors to survive and ride out these tumultuous and turbulent times. Health and peace to you all, 
Register at https://asem.org/event-5966669/RegistrationsList Join Us for the Premier Engineering Management Conference! Dive into the future of engineering leadership at this year’s Engineering Management Conference "Powering the Future of Engineering Management." This will be a dynamic event packed with industry tours, technical sessions, expert-led panels, cutting-edge research, a collaborative student case competition, an awards dinner, and so much more!

ASEM seeks knowledge volunteers as part of a team chartered to investigate validation or accreditation of ASEM’s growing portfolio of certifications. The use of a third-party standard, has long been discussed. Organizations such as ABET use international standards such as ISO 9000. The Institute for Credentialing Excellence (ICE) and the IACET (International Accreditors for Continuing Education and Training) are two examples of U.S. organizations that accredit personnel and continuing education related certifications or certificates. The major deliverable for the Accreditation Project is a actionable plan for obtaining recognized and effectual accreditation as our certification/badging products grow. If you have applicable accreditation knowledge or experience and would like to contribute to this please contact the ASEM Executive Director (ExecutiveDirector@asem.org).
