About PEI

The Professional Engineering Institute of ASABE (PEI) is a not-for-profit professional and technical institution within ASABE. Founded in 1994, PEI provides a forum for engineers to understand and take action on issues affecting the vitality and continuity of the engineering profession in agricultural, food, and biological systems. PEI’s central objective is to promote the economic and social well being of the general public and of the PEI membership by providing a program to expand the application of sound engineering practices. PEI strives to foster the ideals of the professional engineer and to help the public understand the diverse and unique knowledge base the profession represents. The institute seeks to demonstrate how the profession can and does advance the quality of life and general welfare. To accomplish these broad goals, PEI works closely with people who are responsible for resolving society’s technical problems to ensure that those individuals recognize the value of agricultural, food, and biological systems engineering expertise and the potential for the beneficial use of that expertise.
