The ACEC National Young Professional of the Year Award strives to promote the accomplishments of young engineers by highlighting their engineering contributions and the resulting impact on society. The campaign is designed to enhance and improve the image of engineering by recognizing young, diverse and talented engineers, thereby portraying engineering as an exciting profession open to everyone.

Per the ACEC National guidelines, nominees for this award should be a PE at a current member firm that is under the age of 35. ACEC New York collects all nominations and will determine two finalists that will be forwarded on to National.
