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.
