Four Alumni, Four Paths: Lessons After 20 Years
Four Duke CEE alumni from the Class of 2006 reunite to swap unforgettable undergrad memories, share wildly different career paths, and offer practical advice for future students.
Civil & Environmental Engineering
Leading the Fifth Industrial Revolution
In this era of unprecedented global change, if humanity is to thrive, it must adapt—in harmony with the natural world. Duke CEE’s leading programs in civil engineering and environmental engineering use data-intensive approaches to find solutions to big challenges, like climate change, and to blaze the path to harmonious adaptation by quantifying risks and leading innovation in sustainable design.
Leading, and Growing
The Duke Civil & Environmental Engineering faculty has grown by more than a third since 2022.
