Insight into how a student chapter of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) can survive through many years may be provided by the experiences of the ASEE student chapter at The University of Texas at Austin. ASEE student chapters offer many professional development opportunities for engineering students considering possible careers in academia. However, there are currently less than ten ASEE student chapters, and several ASEE student chapters that were initiated in the past are no longer active. In contrast to th is, the ASEE student chapter at UT-Austin has existed and remained active for six consecutive years. Issues that are important in the survival of an ASEE student chapter include promoting ASEE activities to both graduate and undergraduate students, keeping students involved, developing faculty support, and securing funding. By establishing and following procedures for addressing these issues each year, an ASEE student chapter may continue functioning from year to year.
