About Us
Duke Electrical & Computer Engineering facilitates the development of well-rounded individuals who are well-versed in technology and in important societal issues.
Duke ECE: An Overview
Electrical & Computer Engineering is a broad engineering discipline dealing with the processing, control and transmission of information and energy by making extensive use of electrical and electromagnetic phenomena, systems theory and computational hardware and software.
At Duke ECE, we encourage students and faculty to develop synergies with disciplines outside of engineering—including medicine and the sciences.
Our undergraduates participate in independent study and study away, and pursue second majors. At Duke, the major in ECE can be matched with second majors in biomedical engineering, computer science, physics, mathematics, economics and public policy studies.
Our dynamic curriculum can accommodate far-ranging additional interests—including other engineering disciplines, pre-medicine, pre-law, business, art, music, psychology and the social sciences.
Our Mission
To facilitate the development of well-rounded, educated, productive and ethical individuals who are well-versed in technology and social, political and environmental issues.
Our Vision
To develop within each student a robust repertoire of professional skills, to provide each with avenues for exploring diverse interests, and to launch each successfully into one of a variety of careers offering lifelong learning, service and leadership within their own local, national and global communities.
