Engineering Excellence / Project Awards

Engineering Excellence Awards recognize the year’s most outstanding engineering achievements and celebrate the amazing work you provide your clients and promote your understanding efforts.

The ACEC Illinois EEA is held annually to honor member firms for design achievements of superior skill and ingenuity. Each year firms submit projects that are judged on a rigorous set of criteria, which includes complexity, innovation and value to society. In addition to celebrating among peers, the EEA helps to publicize the many significant contributions consulting engineers make to the built environment throughout the world.
