This tax-exempt professional body was established in 1852 with the goal of representing civil engineers around the world. The ASCE is headquartered in Virginia. The constitution that governs the inner-workings of the group is based off of the tenets set forth by the Boston Society of Civil Engineers which was founded in 1848. The ASC was the first and only civil engineering society in the United States.
