A Place Where People Are the Focus

Within Duke Engineering, we’re building a supportive community that dares to aim higher and take well-considered risks. The cornerstone of support is individual and family well-being.

Duke offers a rich array of benefits helping with child care, infertility, elder care and counseling for family concerns. In recent years, Duke has expanded its parental leave benefit and increased the number of lactation spaces.
