With the gradual increase in membership, ASIE has seen more and more young engineers and architects actively participating in the organization. To encourage them to be actively involved with ASIE, the Young Engineer/Architect of the Year Award was started in 1998. These Young Engineers’ names are nominated for further recognition during the Houston Engineer’s Week celebrations, organized by the Texas Society of Professionals Engineers (TSPE). Our congratulations go to Alok Shah, PE for being awarded the ASIE Young Engineer/Architect of the Year 2024.
