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.
