Tomorrow’s technologies will be built on foundations laid today in mechanical engineering and materials science. Duke’s Thomas Lord Department of Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science works to enable a better tomorrow by transcending the traditional definitions of these fields. By harnessing AI to develop complex computational modeling abilities, next-generation automation controllers and materials with comic-book-like properties, Duke MEMS is helping tackle the world’s grandest challenges. Our vibrant community encourages students to work on these projects with esteemed faculty, engaging in critical projects from day one.
Our 300 undergraduate and graduate students are studying exciting areas of mechanical engineering and materials science, including energy, aerospace, soft matter, biomedical applications, scientific modeling and computing, and reliable autonomous technology.
