2006 Texas CEC Engineering Excellence Awards
The Engineering Excellence Awards Competition has been held by the Texas Council of Engineering Companies since its inception in 1975 to honor and recognize outstanding achievements within the engineering community.
The distinguished panel of judges from around the state selected 11 Gold Medal and 11 Silver Medal winning projects from a broad field based on uniqueness, originality, technical, value to the engineering profession, complexity and how successfully the project met the needs of the client.
