safety, and resiliency. The expertise of American engineering firms remains sought-after beyond our borders.</p> <p>American firms have a global footprint that brings clean water, modern transportation networks, safe schools and hospitals, and reliable energy systems to the world.</p> <p>Their work supports U.S. diplomatic and developmental missions abroad through federal projects for agencies like the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC). They also interact with entities such as U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) and the Export-Import Bank which play an essential role in helping engineering firms compete in the international
