The Architectural Engineering Institute (AEI) is the professional organization for architectural engineers. It is managed as a semi-autonomous division of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), like the Structural Engineering Institute. ASCE and ASHRAE are the delegated societies for the architectural engineering's ABET accreditation process. However, AEI has successfully developed, with NCEES, the architectural engineering professional engineering registration examination which was first offered in 2003. AEI's postal address is 1801 Alexander Bell Drive, Reston, VA, 20191-4400 USA.

“Mining today is an affair of mathematics, of finance, of the latest in engineering skill. Cautious men behind polished desks in San Francisco figure out in advance the amount of metal to a cubic yard, the number of yards washed a day, the cost of each operation. They have no need of grubstakes.”
—Merle Colby, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Whenever any form of government shall become destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, & to institute new government, laying it’s foundation on such principles & organising it’s powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety & happiness.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
