The ASCE Dallas Branch excitedly announced Surya Bhandari as the 2025 Engineer of the Year and Nalah Williams as the 2025 Young Engineer of the Year, at the Texas Society of Professional Engineers (TSPE) E-Week celebration Luncheon. These awards recognize outstanding effort in the Civil Engineering Community, honorable humanitarian activities, and exceptional character and professionalism.

Surya and Nalah have made significant contributions to our Branch, demonstrating unwavering enthusiasm in advancing the future of engineering. Both have consistently exhibited professionalism and a strong commitment to community service, setting exemplary standards for others to follow. Their dedication to the Dallas Branch of ASCE and its advancement make them clear standouts for these prestigious awards.

Surya’s involvement not only shows through his work with ASCE Dallas Branch but his commitment to the Lions Club International and his career projects at AECOM. His active engagement in numerous projects and communities has not only enhanced his professional capabilities but also positioned him as a deserving candidate for the Engineer of the Year award. His contributions have been pivotal in fostering a collaborative and forward-thinking environment, making him an invaluable asset to our organization and the community.

Nalah, the founder of Golden Mane Consultants, has been a beacon of inspiration for younger members, encouraging them to pursue careers in engineering and entrepreneurship. Her work at her company and for the City of Celina have afforded her opportunities to share her knowledge and talents with the younger generations of engineers. We are thrilled to present her with the Young Engineer of the Year award as she has inspired many around her.

The two winners were presented with their awards at the TSPE Dallas Chapter and the TSPE Preston Trail Chapter Joint Luncheon for Engineers Week.
