Excellence awards program

Leaders in engineering pave the way for transformation not just in their field, but in the world at large. The progress engineers make pushes the boundaries of what’s believed possible, shaping how we think, live, work and create. So, it deserves recognition. 

For more than a century, our Excellence Awards have brought the engineering community together to honour its greatest achievements. These are the people and projects that move us forward, and make us proud to call ourselves engineers.
