The art of engineering buildings
Alex Saccente was going to study art when she went to college. Art was her passion, and she’d been painting and sketching for years. Her high school teachers had a different idea, though. Recognizing her aptitude for math and science, they encouraged Saccente to contemplate a future in engineering. She ended up enrolling in the civil engineering program at Oregon State and never looked back. At the start of her sophomore year, the college added an architectural engineering degree program — the first of its kind in the Pacific Northwest. Saccente didn’t hesitate to jump over to the exciting new curriculum.
