The School of Civil and Environmental Engineering has been named the Public Sector Employer of the Year by the Georgia Society of Professional Engineers (GSPE).
The recognition is one of the organization’s 2025 Engineer of the Year Awards.
“We are truly honored to receive this recognition from GSPE,” said Karen and John Huff School Chair Don Webster. “This award underscores our commitment to providing an exceptional experience not only for students, but for the incredible faculty and staff who make our highly ranked civil and environmental engineering programs possible.”
GSPE Executive Director Amanda Hendley said that the School’s dedication to continuous learning and career development is a key reason why CEE is so deserving of this recognition.
"As a leader in engineering education, Georgia Tech's School of Civil & Environmental Engineering sets a standard for professional growth and development,” Hendley said. “Their commitment to faculty and staff advancement—through mentorship, leadership training, conference support, and even financial incentives for professional licensure—ensures that their team remains at the forefront of innovation.”
The award will be presented at the 2025 Georgia Engineering Awards Gala on March 7. This annual event celebrates the achievements of Georgia's engineering professionals and companies, providing an opportunity to recognize excellence across the state.
