In this constantly changing world, continuing our education is one way we can keep abreast of advances in estimating and construction techniques. ASPE encourages a wide range of educational activities that provide learning experiences for estimators at all experience levels.
Many chapters hold seminars that provide educational benefits for members and non-members alike. These range from two-hour single topic meetings to seminars two days long covering a variety of construction and estimating topics.
ASPE members are involved in teaching, sponsoring, and providing input for estimating courses in certificate, bachelors degree, and masters degree programs at schools, colleges, and universities throughout the nation.
In addition, the Society provides a scholarship fund to encourage young people to seek an education in construction-related fields. Many chapters also make scholarships available to students.
