A team of 25 Pratt engineering students, dominated by upper classmen, raced to the best showing by a Duke team in the annual Formula SAE competition sponsored by the Society of Automotive Engineers.
Welcome to MEMS
The Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering offers broadly based undergraduate and graduate programs that cultivate the learning, thinking and problem-solving abilities needed to adapt, to develop and to exercise responsible leadership through times of rapid change. The department offers BSE, MS and PhD degree programs. Our research reflects a markedly cross-disciplinary focus and offers our students broad opportunity to match personal interests with career development.

Our goal is to graduate mechanical engineers who identify and address significant needs and challenges in engineering and society, and effectively communicate solutions; who advance in professional careers that may encompass a broad range of endeavors, both technical and non-technical; who exhibit intellectual depth and creativity in employment, advanced education, and research; and who uphold high ethical standards and show a commitment to the betterment of society through service and professional work.
