Phi Alpha Epsilon (Script error: No such module "Lang".) is an American collegiate honor society for architectural engineering. It was established at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas in 1980.

History

In the fall of 1980, students in the Department of Architectural Engineering & Construction Science at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas formed an interest group to consider creating an academic honorary society.[1] They were assisted by Charles Bissey, professor of architectural engineering and construction science.[2] As a result, Kappa Sigma Alpha Epsilon (KSAE) was established.[1] In the spring of 1981, its seven charter members and eight pledges were installed.[1] Bissey served as the group's academic advisor.[1][3]

After other architectural engineering programs expressed an interest in joining KSAE, a discussion took place during the 1983–84 academic year.[1] The group became a national academic honorary society in the fall of 1984, with the name change to Phi Alpha Epsilon.[1] The honor society's function was to reward academic achievement in architectural engineering and to recognize outstanding alumni.[1][4]

Activities

The society offers scholarships to its members through its Phi Alpha Epsilon Scholarship fund.[10] The fund was established with $6,900 in gifts from architectural firms and architectural engineering graduates.[10] In 1998, Duane Henderson, one of the Phi Alpha Epsilon's founding members, expanded the scholarship fund with a gift of $14,000.[10] The scholarship fund is managed by the Kansas State University Foundation.[10]

Membership

Phi Alpha Epsilon members must be a junior or a senior seeking a degree in architectural engineering who have completed fifteen hours in the program with at least a 3.25 grade point average.[4][9] Students who qualify for membership receive an invitation to join.[11][5] New members are inducted once each semester.[4][9]
