ACEC Colorado’s Engineering Excellence Awards (EEA) program annually recognizes consulting engineering firms for projects that demonstrate an exceptional degree of innovation, complexity, achievement, and value. For more than 65 years, Colorado firms have entered their most innovative projects and studies into this competition.
