Duke University Mechanical Engineering Programs

Since its founding almost 90 years ago, Duke University Mechanical Engineering and Material Science has been teaching students to engineer solutions to make the world a better place. Today they are home to more than 300 undergraduate and graduate students, studying in exciting areas of mechanical engineering and materials science, including energy, aerospace, soft matter, biomedical applications, scientific modelling and computing, and reliable autonomous technology.

At Duke MEMS, students work with top faculty even as undergraduates—doing independent projects as a Pratt Research Fellow, or working on teams, such as Duke Robotics, Duke Electric Vehicles, or Duke Motorsports. Their students have access to incredible maker spaces and resources, such as the Innovation Co-Lab, The Foundry, the Shared Materials Instrumentation Facility, and the garage labs in the new Wilkinson Building.
