The Department of Architecture at Pusan National University College of Engineering was established in 1953 for the purpose of education of professional technical personnel through development of local college of engineering. As of opening period, it is the sixth nationwide, after Seoul National University in 1946, Hanyang University in 1949, Chonnam National University, Chunggu University, and Chungnam National University in 1952. Name of the school at the time of opening was 'Civil and Architecture Engineering'. The first 40 freshman was recruited in 1952. The first graduates were 12 students in 1958. In the same year, a Master's degree program was opened and followed by opening of Ph.D. course in 1961.

Such an academic event has been held more frequently since the reorganization to the five-year interdisciplinary. It has been dedicated to its role as the Mecca of the academic scientific research field, that provides such information to the relevant industry or government agencies, as well as its effect of the architecture education. In addition, by establishing and running cooperative systems with various national and regional construction companies, it has been conducting joint research and exchange of field practice, as well as performing student internships.
