Welcome to the Penn State Alumni
Society of Architectural Engineers (ASAE)
Society of Architectural Engineers (ASAE)
An organization of Penn State Architectural Engineering alumni. We are a chartered Affiliate Program Group (APG) within the College of Engineering. The purpose of this organization shall be to encourage the continued interest and professional development of all graduates of the AE department and to act as an informal advisory board to the head of the department. It will be an objective of the organization to promote fellowship and communication among the alumni, faculty and students of the department in order to actively work for the improvement of the department and the college.
ASAE is governed by a Board of Directors that is made up of 14 members. 10 ASAE members are elected to the Board of Directors by the regular membership. They are Architectural Engineering alumni who hold the elected positions of the Society officers: President, Vice-President, and Secretary and seven At Large members. The other four members are designated by the Charter, which are the AE Department Head, AE Faculty Member, Penn State Engineering Alumni Society (PSEAS) Representative, and the immediate past ASAE president.
All living graduates of Penn State's architectural engineering program can become a member and there are no dues or fees. To become a member please complete the online membership form.
