I intend on majoring in engineering and architecture in college. I was wondering if anyone knew of schools with a strong program in engineering and/or architecture. Thanks.

Depends on where you want to live.
California: -- Try Cal Poly SLO (for Engineering and Architecture), CSU Chico for Engineering, UC Davis for Engineering.
Schools like MIT, Stanford, UC Berkeley have great graduate programs but worthless undergrad degrees.

UC Berkeley
Berkeley ranks first nationally in the number of graduate programs in the top 10 in their fields. That's a comparison to both public and private universities.
As for the architecture program, it is ranked within the top five nationally every year. Within California, the graduates with degrees in architecture from Berkeley enjoy the highest pass rate on the Architect Registration Examination.

In the midwest, Oklahoma State University has a well known architecture program that incorporates design and engineering principles.
The school is also one of the nations "best buy" universities.

Texas A&M is one of the largest engineering colleges in the country with around 9000 engineering students according to their website. The "M" in "A&M" stands for "Mechanical", as in mechanical engineering, one of the earliest degrees offered. The school also has a military corps, if that interests you, but you are not required to participate in it.
Both engineering and architecture are offered.
Since it is a state/public university, it is relatively inexpensive, even if you have to pay out-of-state tuition.
Good luck in your search.
