One Line at a Time: Programming Good Code and Forming Good People in First-Year Computing
Genevieve Lipp reframes teamwork as a virtue as part of her efforts to integrate ethics into her First-Year Computing class.
Engineering an Uplifting Society
For over a century, Duke has championed knowledge in service of society. Today, we meet people where they are, creating routes to prosperity through active learning, entrepreneurial ventures, and community-driven research.
Engineering Solutions, Empowering Communities
Each year, student-led teams travel around the globe to collaborate with local partners identifying critical needs, co-designing solutions, and implementing projects in the field. Duke Engineers for International Development (DEID) is an immersive program that builds real-world experience and a sense of global responsibility, preparing engineers to drive positive change worldwide.
Bringing Engineering Design to Our Communities
We are committed to inspiring the next generation of STEM leaders through intentional outreach programs led by our passionate faculty, staff, and students. Meeting students and their teachers alike where they are multiplies these efforts.
Outreach Design Education
Through collaborative projects and local partnerships, Outreach Design Education (ODE) expands access to hand-on design learning for students from underserved communities. Real-world STEM challenges build practical skills and spark curiosity, helping students envision and create the innovations of tomorrow.
InventHERs Institute
Our faculty are revolutionizing how girls and women see themselves in STEM fields. By creating a “counterspace” where everyone can authentically belong and thrive, they connect with elementary school girls and their caregivers through a three-tier mentorship model that makes STEM education a more powerful and inclusive tool for common good.
Duke Global Health Institute
Designing cancer screening tools that can be used in rural clinics. Training local engineering students how to design biomedical tools that work in their communities. Field testing sanitation solutions for billions without it in their own distinct circumstances. We work to achieve health equity for vulnerable groups and individuals around the world.
