DURHAM, N.C. -- Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering has received a gift of $5 million from an anonymous donor to establish a new undergraduate curriculum that will encourage students to think critically about problems that lack obvious solutions, like those they will encounter after graduation, President Richard H. Brodhead announced Wednesday.
The planned curriculum will be open to undergraduates from all majors.
"Duke's strategic plan, 'Making a Difference,' calls for investments in programs that help students ...
