ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE AWARDS The American Council of Engineering Companies’ (ACEC) annual Engineering Excellence Awards (EEA) competition recognizes engineering firms for projects that demonstrate a high degree of achievement, value and ingenuity. For more than 40 years, engineering firms have entered their most innovative projects and studies in state and regional competitions conducted by state Member Organizations (MOs). Qualifying firms at the MO level are then eligible to participate in the ACEC national competition. EEA entries are accepted into one of 10 project categories: studies, research, and consulting engineering services; building/technology systems; structural systems; surveying and mapping technology; environmental; water and wastewater; water resources; transportation; special projects; and small projects. A distinguished panel of 25-30 judges is convened to critique the projects. These professionals have backgrounds in engineering, architecture, state and federal government, media, academia and the military. The panel of judges spends three days evaluating projects for engineering excellence, then selects 24 top winners to receive the following awards – 16 Honor Awards and eight Grand Awards. One Grand Conceptor Award will be selected from the eight Grand Award winners for the overall best engineering achievement. Projects from all over the world are rated on the basis of: uniqueness and originality; future value to the engineering profession and perception by the public; social, economic, and sustainable development considerations; complexity; and successful fulfillment of client/owner’s needs, including schedule and budget. ACEC’s 2008 Engineering Excellence Awards provide firms an opportunity to obtain national recognition and to showcase their talent and expertise in a dramatic setting. A special award—The Ramesh M. Khona Award for Communication of Engineering Excellence, recognizes the best display panel submitted as an entry in the EEA competition. The annual EEA gala celebrates, with pride and elegance, the outstanding achievements of the engineering profession. The Ramesh M. Khona Award will be given to the firm that creates the best display panel. The objective of the award is to promote communication of engineering excellence by creating displays that are both visually exciting and stimulating to read, as well as promoting the achievements of the engineering profession. Ramesh M. Khona served on the EEA Committee for nearly a decade and was committed to showing the world the important contributions engineers make to our built environment. A panel of communications experts will determine the winner of the award. All EEA panels are eligible. ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE AWARDS
