Awards & Honors
The American Society of Civil Engineers invites nominations for more than 85 Society Awards that recognize civil engineers who advance the profession either through achievement or published papers. A wide array of honors, several including cash prizes, exist to award students, younger members, career professionals, projects, authors of ASCE-published papers, and researchers/educators.
The Society needs your participation in this important activity. Please consider supporting your colleagues, employees, and students by making them candidates for one or more Society Award.
For questions or assistance, contact the ASCE Awards & Honors program.
Before you begin: Most ASCE awards require nomination by someone other than the candidate. Unless an award's rules specifically state otherwise, self-nominations are not accepted. Review the individual award page for complete eligibility and nomination requirements.
Nomination deadlines vary.
Always consult individual award rules to determine the entry deadline and to learn how to nominate a deserving candidate.
