About AE Dynamics
Founded in 2012 by Scott Higinbotham, PE and Chris Cerminara, PE, AE Dynamics has grown through collaboration to complete thousands of projects across the United States and worldwide. We are deeply committed to serving our clients and passionate about the profession we practice.
Who We Are
A Brief History
AE Dynamics was founded in 2012 by principals Scott Higinbotham and Chris Cerminara. After becoming good friends at Penn State in the late 1990s, Chris and Scott formed their first working relationship in 2007, when they teamed up on their first engineered window project. They continued to work together on a contractual basis until 2012, when they decided to create a company that would combine their personal relationships, professional expertise, and desire to create a client focused culture.
Spanning the Globe
AE Dynamics is a small firm with the experience of a large one. We have completed over 2,000 projects across many public and private sectors. AE Dynamics also works with international, federal, local, and private clients throughout the United States and the world. We are licensed in 49 states and districts, and have worked in several countries across the globe. Our unique understanding of the building envelope and how it interacts with the building structure sets us apart from other structural engineering firms.
Client Benefits
Our diverse team of engineers, managers, and design technicians work collaboratively and seamlessly to provide innovative and cost-effective solutions for our clients. Whether it’s a small residential foundation or a high rise building in New York City, AE Dynamics places a high priority on clear communications and customizing our services for every unique client, taking into account the specific goals, budget, and project schedule.
Our Belief
AE Dynamics’ unique combination of specialties within the field of structural engineering allows us to provide a superior and responsive approach to our work. We believe that the structure is not an isolated system within the building. Our broad understanding of the built environment allows us to adapt our designs in unique ways to work with the architecture and other building systems in order to create a truly cohesive and coordinated design.
