1 9 0 9 –1919 The History of A C E C hen AICE was born in 1909, it had 39 consulting engineers; by the end of 1919, it had grown to more than 100 and was headquartered in a small office at 111 Broadway in New York City. With more than half its members working locally, AICE was largely a New York City-focused organization, also evidenced by its important role in the revision of the New York City Building Code. The organization’s first president, Alfred Noble, urged the group to branch out and “strive to be a truly national society.” During the decade, engineers in private practice were involved in a range of national engineering works—from the Woolworth Building in New York (1913) to the Los Angeles Aqueduct (1913). In 1917, AICE succeeded in its first foray into federal legislation when it supported creation of the Engineer Officers Reserve Corps, a group composed of engineers recruited from the nation’s private railroads to serve with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The organization also spoke out on an issue that remains central to its agenda today: competition from publicly employed engineers. AICE delivered resolutions to President Woodrow Wilson and the secretaries of Treasury, War, Interior, Navy and Agriculture that “deplored” the government’s undertaking of engineering work exclusively through the Army rather than through private engineers. AICE advocated “proper methods for soliciting work” and exposed a “strained relationship” between engineers and architects underscored by architects’ use of manufacturers and contractors to perform “free engineering.” W Designed by Mead & Seastone Consulting Engineers, a forerunner of Mead & Hunt, the Prairie Du Sac (Wis.) Plant is one of the nation’s first hydroelectric power plants.

Lockwood Greene was acquired by CH2M HILL. (Photo courtesy of CH2M HILL) 6 ENGINEERING INC. MaRCh / apRIl 2009
