Tomorrow’s Technologies Invented Today
AI, quantum computing and robotics make headlines every day. Duke Engineering is behind more than its fair share of them, enabling science-fiction-like abilities through innovative hardware and materials.
NSF AI Institute for Edge Computing (Athena)
Led by Duke University, the Athena institute focuses on developing edge computing with groundbreaking AI functionality that leverages next-generation communications networks to provide previously impossible services at reasonable cost.
Transformational Impact
Brain-Inspired Hardware
To save energy while improving performance, tomorrow’s AI hardware may mimic neural pathways. See how Duke researchers have long laid the groundwork.
Quantum Fundamentals
One of the three leading quantum computing platforms was engineered by Duke faculty and lives at the Duke Quantum Center. Discover the promise of trapped ions.
Next-Generation Energy Materials
Energy harvesting and storing materials require atomic-level understanding. Duke Engineering is investing in powerful tools to transform portfolios in these fields.
Training Future Leaders
Duke Engineering provides its students an extensive array of opportunities for hands-on experience with emerging technologies.
Hacking AI
Duke’s AI Hackathon draws students from across the country to use the latest in AI tools to build working prototype solutions to real problems – in just two days. Join in the excitement!
Coding with AI
A Duke-wide class explores how a ChatGPT plugin removes entry barriers to the Wolfram family of data analysis tools, allowing students to learn how to program without learning how to program.
Low-Key Quantum
Quantum computing sounds scary. At Duke, students are providing other students a low-stakes opportunity to dip their toes into the emerging technology through a “house course.”
Robot Studio
Join our undergraduates on a journey to design and build bespoke walking robots over the course of a single semester.
Robotics & Autonomy
Duke Engineering is launching a new master’s program that combines signature elements of its undergraduate and graduate curricula.
