Ecological Engineering Design:
A Return to Resilience

Join us for the 25th AEES conference, in vibrant Athens, Georgia. For this special anniversary, AEES has returned to its birthplace; the first AEES conference was held in 2001 on the University of Georgia campus. 

​

The conference draws ecological engineers from around the country. Take the opportunity to learn about all of the latest happenings in the world of ecological engineering, 

​

  • Become a Certified Ecological Designer (CED);

  • Earn Professional Development Hours

  • Celebrate the second year of publishing by the society's open-access Journal of Ecological Engineering Design (JEED);

  • Learn about the ongoing ABET accreditation process;

  • Learn how academic institutions across the country are bringing ecological engineering to their campuses; and

  • Experience local ecosystems and ecosystem restoration activities through tours and site visits.

​

Athens, Georgia is a wonderful place to visit--enjoy the local music scene at the Georgia Theater, wander downtown and pick from a plethora of delicious places to eat, go for a walk at one of the local parks, or bike along the greenway that winds along the Oconee River. 

​

The American Ecological Engineering Society's mission is to promote the development of sustainable ecosystems that integrate human society with its natural environment for the benefit of both by fostering education and outreach, extending professional development and associations, raising public awareness, and encouraging original research.
