Onouye is a registered professional engineer
and has maintained an engineering practice since 1972. Early in his career he participated in a National Science Foundation
project addressing seismic requirements in small town building codes.
Onouye is co-author, with Kevin Kane, of Statics and Strengths of Materials for Architecture and Building Construction, 3rd ed. (Prentice Hall, 2006), author of Statics and Strength of Materials: Foundations for Structural Design (Prentice Hall 2005), and co-author with Douglas Zuberbuhler and Francis D. K. Ching
