Founded by NSPE in 1951, Engineers Week (February 21-27) is a week to increase understanding of and interest in engineering and technology careers for the next generation.
We’re thankful to have a talented team of civil and traffic engineers here at Eriksson Engineering Associates, Ltd. (EEA)! For Engineers Week, we’re sharing the stories of how a few members of our EEA team found their passion.
It’s no secret that 2020 had its ups and downs. Eriksson Engineering Associates, Ltd. (EEA) made it through by doing what we do best: navigating through complex civil engineering site design, traffic and parking, and landscape architecture projects.
EEA thanks our friends, partners, and clients for their support as we continue to expand our reach across the Midwest and upper peninsula. We’re also thankful to have provided consultation on a diverse range of projects, many of which received award recognition in 2020.
If you need a site solution in 2021 and beyond, we’re here for you! See our services for ways we can assist you with your projects needs.

Eriksson Engineering Associates, Ltd. (EEA)’s expansion into Southeastern Wisconsin was driven by our growing number of projects in the region and team members who already call the state home. It’s now been over a year since we leased our Downtown Milwaukee office space in early 2019 and held our official office launch on August 6, 2019.
Our team recently celebrated these milestones with a virtual happy hour complete with Wisconsin trivia.

Construction is well underway for the two-story, four-classroom addition to Collins Elementary School at 407 S. Summit Drive in Schaumburg. EEA is providing civil engineering services on this project, which is the most significant upgrade to any of Schaumburg Township Elementary District 54’s 28 buildings this summer. The planned addition at the northeast corner of the school will increase the size of the currently 61,650-square-foot building by 6,400 square feet. The new construction is expected to closely match the design and materials of the existing building. Photo Credit: STR Partners
While working remotely, employees and employers need to be on the lookout for identity theft and phishing schemes which have spiked during quarantine.
Eriksson Engineering Associates, Ltd. (EEA) has been on high alert. A domain name that mimics EEA’s legitimate domain name has been recently registered. Imposters have been sending convincing emails to clients of EEA requesting payment for illegitimate invoices.
The domain name used for these illicit emails is EEA-LLTD.COM, which contains an extra “L.” Fortunately, our affected clients in these situations have noticed irregularities within the fake emails and have contacted us directly. If you receive these emails, please do not respond or click on links; instead, please notify EEA.
EEA has opened an abuse complaint against this domain name holder and we hope to have a resolution shortly. In the meantime, we recommend that your IT staff blacklist the domain name, EEA-LLTD.COM, with your email server to prevent receiving any malicious or deceptive emails.
In addition to illicit emails, please also be on guard for irregular phone calls, text messages, and direct messages on your social media accounts.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Principal/Director of Client Relations Tom Petermann or to the EEA team members you work with regularly. You can also learn more about how to protect yourself from phishing attacks on the Federal Trade Commission website.
In honor of International Women in Engineering Day (INWED) this week, EEA would like to recognize our team members, Kristen Meyers, Laura Rosenbauer, and Melanie Carollo for raising awareness of women in the field of engineering.
INWED is an international awareness campaign by the Women’s Engineering Society to profile women in engineering and focus attention on career opportunities in this exciting industry.
We hope that you will take the time to read the profiles of these amazing women who are bringing creativity and innovation to their jobs every day.
