WHAT IS ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE?
The Engineering Excellence Awards (EEA) is an annual design competition that recognizes engineering achievements which demonstrate the highest degree of merit and ingenuity. The awards competition spotlights engineers as problem-solvers. For more than 50 years, hundreds of consulting engineering firms have entered their most innovative designs in state competitions.
A panel of judges selects the best engineering projects of the year based on criteria such as original or innovative application of new or existing design techniques; social, economic and sustainable design considerations; complexity, etc.
These projects attest to the continuing impact ACEC Oregon firms have on the quality of life in Oregon, southwest Washington and throughout the world.
