The American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) is a professional engineering organization, which together with the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) and the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) represent the majority of US engineers and engineering firms.[citation needed]
ACEC’s origins begin in 1909 with the American Institute of Consulting Engineers (AICE). ACEC is not oriented towards granting Professional Engineer (PE) status like the ASCE; it is instead oriented towards the business interests of engineers and represents engineers in a legislative and regulatory forums at the state and federal level. Membership of ACEC ranges in size from single PE practitioners to the largest US engineering corporations.
