The National Council of Structural Engineers Associations (NCSEA) has opened submissions for the 2025 Structural Engineering Excellence (SEE) Awards, its program honoring outstanding achievements in structural engineering.
This year marks a major evolution of the SEE Awards, with a completely reimagined slate of categories that reflects the expanding impact and innovation of the profession.
New for 2025:
- All-new award categories – The entire lineup has been refreshed to better showcase the breadth of structural engineering excellence. New categories include Innovation in Materials, AI in Design, and Sustainable Design, among others.
- Expanded eligibility window – Projects completed within the last 10 years are now eligible for submission (previously limited to 3 years).
- Small firm discount – Firms with 20 or fewer employees across all office locations are eligible for a $100 discount on the submission fee.
Projects from anywhere in the world are eligible and can be entered in one of 10 categories:
- Landmark Structures
- Innovation in Materials
- Sustainable Design
- Performance Design for Resilience
- Social Impact
- Residential/Single and Multi-Family Homes
- Bridge and Transportation
- Forensic/Renovation/Retrofit/Rehabilitation
- Non-Building Structures
- AI in Design
The top project will be honored with the Structure of the Year Award.
Entries are due by July 18, 2025. Submissions must include the name of a licensed P.E. or S.E. whose practice or activity is primarily in the field of structural engineering. Winners will be honored at the SEE Awards Celebration on October 16, 2025, during the NCSEA Structural Engineering Summit in New York City.
