** Only ACEC Indiana active regular members are eligible to take advantage of the United Healthcare Life/ HealthTrust, Business Insurance Trust and Retirement Trust. Associate members are not eligible for these products and services.

Prospective members must complete a membership application for review by ACEC Indiana staff.

According to the By-Laws of the American Council of Engineering Companies of Indiana, Inc. the definition of an active regular member is:

1) Must Be a Consulting Engineering Firm
Consulting engineers are independent professional engineers who perform services for clients on a contract basis without commercial or manufacturing affiliations that might bias their judgment. Their services include pre planning, design and design implementation, research and development, construction management and consultations on engineering-related problems. Consulting engineers have no commercial affiliations with manufacturers, material suppliers, contractors or others which bias their judgment.

2) Must Have a Full-Time Office in Indiana
Members must have a permanent and bona fide home or branch office in Indiana with a full-time Indiana Registered Professional Engineer on staff in order to be eligible to become an active regular member.

3) Must Have a Full-Time Registered Professional Engineer as a Principal in Good Standing with No Adverse Judgments With the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency
To render such services properly, engineers must be qualified by education, technical knowledge, and experience, with appropriate licensing by a state to practice one or more disciplines of engineering. Indiana Registered Professional Engineers are licensed by the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency. Visit https://mylicense.in.gov/EVerification/ to verify that the PE is indeed licensed and registered in Indiana.
