All ASCE members agree to comply with the Code of Ethics and to report any observed violations by another member. The Committee on Professional Conduct (CPC) is an eight-person volunteer committee that reviews and investigates complaints in accordance with its rules of procedure. If the CPC finds that an ethics violation has occurred and that disciplinary actions are appropriate, it will forward its recommendations to ASCE's Executive Committee or Board of Direction for a formal hearing on the matter.

To file a complaint, print out the complaint form and mail the completed form to:

American Society of Civil Engineers

1801 Alexander Bell Drive

Reston, VA 20191

Note: Complaints related to conduct occurring before October 26, 2020, will still be reviewed under the previous ASCE Code of Ethics. Download a copy of the previous Code of Ethics (PDF).
