Who We Represent
We are one of 51 state and regional councils affiliated with the American Council of Engineering Companies in Washington, DC. Nationally, ACEC represents more than 600,000 engineers, architects, land surveyors, and related specialists responsible for over $100 billion in private and public works annually.
ACEC Minnesota’s member firms design the infrastructure systems that support daily life and long-term economic growth. Our members work across transportation, water resources, environmental systems, energy, site development, structural engineering, public works, and emerging technology sectors.
These firms partner with federal, state, and local agencies, as well as private clients, to deliver projects that must meet strict technical, safety, and financial standards. Consulting engineering is a regulated profession grounded in licensure, accountability, and the protection of public welfare.
Why It Matters
Engineering firms operate in a complex environment shaped by public funding cycles, demographic change, regulatory reform, and workforce constraints. ACEC Minnesota exists to align industry voice and professional standards so that infrastructure delivery remains effective and accountable.
When consulting engineering firms are strong, Minnesota’s infrastructure systems are stronger.
