Diversity Makes Better Engineers
An optimist sees the glass as half full. A pessimist? Half empty. An engineer sees a glass that’s twice as big as it needs to be. Point is, engineers see things differently. Duke engineers see things very differently. Why use glass at all? Can we create a more efficient material? Ooh, should we include a water quality sensor? Here, we value different backgrounds and ways of thinking—because new approaches generate new solutions.

Durham and Beyond
Location. Location. Location.
At the north vertex of North Carolina’s famed Research Triangle, the city of Durham is essential to the Duke Engineering experience. Among our neighbors are hundreds of startups and standard bearers across industries, both private and public, quickly growing and evolving the city’s communities and skyline.
It doesn’t take an advanced degree to see why Durham is the #3 best place to live in America, according to U.S. News and World Report—but Durham is a great place to earn one.
