WHO WE ARE

The American Association of Colombian Engineers (AACE) is a registered not-for-profit corporation based in Florida, dedicated to promoting professional integration and the exchange of scientific, educational, cultural, and technological knowledge. Our mission is to support Hispanic engineers and architects, particularly those of Colombian descent, in their professional development.

Our mission over the past 25 years has been to build a network of Colombian and Hispanic
engineers and architects, fostering integration, collaboration, and knowledge sharing as fellow professionals with a commitment to preserving Earth’s natural habitats and ecosystems.

Our History

For over 25 years, AACE has made a significant impact on the community through technical events, guidance for immigrant professionals, and a scholarship program for students in need.

Founded in 2000, AACE was to congregate, provide the means for interaction among numerous
Colombian Engineers and Architects already working in the United States. It also provides a forum that became known in the professional community for its technical workshops. The meetings started at the private homes of the associates. Subsequently, the Colombian Consul at that time, Ms. Carmenza Jaramillo, offered the consulate facilities for meetings and cocktails.
AACE has grown into a vital support network for Hispanic engineers and architects in the United States and Colombia. We focus on creating growth opportunities through collaboration and community engagement.

Mission: To build a network of Colombian and Hispanic engineers and architects to integrate, collaborate, and share knowledge with a focus on preserving Earth’s ecosystems.

Vision: To be a benchmark in the Hispanic professional community, advancing science and technology in an ethical and sustainable manner.

Values: Integrity, collaboration, social responsibility, and professional excellence.
