About MNSEA:
MNSEA is the Minnesota Structural Engineers Association, the leading business practice and educational resource for structural engineering firms throughout the state of Minnesota. MNSEA is a subcommittee of ACEC Minnesota (American Council of Engineering Companies of Minnesota), and is also a member organization of NCSEA (National Council of Structural Engineers Association).
