ACEC of Wyoming was founded in 1955 to promote and protect the business interests of engineering and surveying firms in Wyoming. The original organization was formed under the name Wyoming Association of Private Practicing Engineers and Surveyors. The Wyoming association became affiliated with what is now the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) in Washington D.C. in May, 1961. In 1964, the organization changed its name to the Wyoming Association of Consulting Engineers and Surveyors (WACES). In 2002 WACES became the American Council of Engineering Companies of Wyoming (ACEC of Wyoming).

Throughout its history, the mission of ACEC of Wyoming has been to:

• Advocate for engineering and surveying companies to enhance the business environment in which these companies operate;
