AB  - Engineering professional societies communicate the professional responsibilities and standards of behavior for practicing engineers in different fields within engineering, and engineering students engage with professional societies through local student chapters, student conferences and competitions hosted by the societies, and ethics lessons that draw on professional codes. As more individuals in engineering fields and engineering education become aware of the importance of DEIJ to engineering and devote more attention to DEIJ issues, it is essential to understand and reflect on how the professional engineering societies have addressed DEIJ. Therefore, this paper aims to review the existing web-based, public-facing documents provided by these societies to create an understanding of the ways and extent to which these societies have become involved with DEIJ. To conduct this study, we reviewed the websites of several professional societies for engineering, including the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), and the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). Particularly, we limited our search to (1) the vision, mission, and goal statements, (2) the codes of ethics, (3) the diversity, equity, and inclusion pages, and (4) pages intended for students and student groups on the society websites. The initial results indicate that although professional societies are committed to benefiting humanity and improving the quality of life, they did not explicitly mention justice or equity in their vision, mission, or goal statements. However, a pattern of more DEIJ content is evident in recent updates of the codes of ethics. Finally, the diversity, equity, and inclusion pages generally showed a variety of valuable yet limited content across these different professional societies.
