At Duke, the undergraduate experience centers around Trinity College, with Engineering students taking approximately half of their Duke common curriculum within Trinity.<ref>{{Cite web |date=March 20, 2012 |title=The First Year |url=https://pratt.duke.edu/undergrad/students/first-year |access-date=March 21, 2019 |website=Duke Pratt School of Engineering |language=en}}</ref> Engineering students are able to enroll in any classes within the liberal arts college, and Trinity students are able to enroll in any classes within the engineering college. The undergraduate curriculum includes a focus on the humanities. All freshman students take a writing class and a current-issues seminar class.<ref>{{Cite web |title=First-Year Programs {{!}} Trinity College of Arts & Sciences |url=https://trinity.duke.edu/undergraduate/first-year-programs |access-date=March 21, 2019 |website=trinity.duke.edu}}</ref> [[Graduate School of Duke University|The Graduate School]] trains roughly 1200 doctoral and masters students in the arts and sciences as well as in [[Duke Divinity School|divinity]], [[Pratt School of Engineering|engineering]], [[Fuqua School of Business|business]], and [[Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences|environmental and earth sciences]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://gradschool.duke.edu/about/|title=About the Graduate School|website=gradschool.duke.edu|access-date=January 1, 2025}}</ref>

Trinity's curriculum operates under the revised version of "Curriculum 2000".<ref name="Curr2000" /> The curriculum aims to help students develop critical faculties and judgment by learning how to access, synthesize, and communicate knowledge effectively. The intent is to assist students in acquiring perspective on current and historical events, conducting research and solving problems, and developing tenacity and a capacity for hard and sustained work.<ref name="Curr2000">{{cite web |url=http://www.aas.duke.edu/admin/curriculum2000/report.html |title=Curriculum 2000: Index of the Report |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070610023640/http://www.aas.duke.edu/admin/curriculum2000/report.html |archive-date=June 10, 2007 |publisher=Duke University |access-date=June 12, 2011}}</ref> Freshmen can elect to participate in the [[FOCUS Program]], which allows students to engage in an interdisciplinary exploration of a specific topic in a small group setting in their first semesters.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://focus.duke.edu/introduction/ |title=Focus: Introduction: What is Focus?|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090420004952/http://focus.duke.edu/introduction/ |archive-date=April 20, 2009 |publisher=Duke University |access-date=June 12, 2011}}</ref>

More than 60 percent of Duke Engineering undergraduates have an intensive research experience during their four years, and nearly a fifth publish or present a research paper off-campus. Nearly 54 percent of Duke Engineering undergraduates intern or study abroad. Eighty-five percent have jobs or job offers at the time of graduation.<ref>{{cite web |title=About Duke Engineering |url=https://pratt.duke.edu/about |website=pratt.duke.edu |date=March 14, 2012 |publisher=Duke University |access-date=October 16, 2019 |archive-date=July 14, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190714052500/http://pratt.duke.edu/about |url-status=live }}</ref> Since July 2018, Duke engineering students have held the [[Guinness World Records|Guinness World Record]] for inventing the world's most fuel-efficient vehicle – powered by a fuel cell, it achieved 14,573 miles per gallon equivalent.

Hudson Hall is the oldest [[engineering]] building at Duke, constructed in 1948. It was renamed to honor Fitzgerald S. "Jerry" Hudson (E'46) in 1992.<ref name="Facilities2">{{Cite web|url=https://pratt.duke.edu/about/campus/facilities|title=Facilities|date=March 20, 2012|publisher=Duke Pratt School of Engineering}}</ref>

The [[Fitzpatrick Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering, Medicine and Applied Sciences]] (FCIEMAS) opened in August 2004. [[Research]] facilities focus on the fields of [[photonics]], [[bioengineering]], communications, and [[materials science]] and [[materials engineering]]. The aim of the building was to emphasize interdisciplinary activities and encourage cross-departmental interactions. The building houses numerous wet bench [[Laboratory|laboratories]] (highlighted by a world-class [[nanotechnology]] research wing), offices, teaching spaces, and a café.<ref name="Facilities2" /> FCIEMAS is also home to the Master of Engineering Management Program offices. The construction of FCIEMAS took more than three years and cost more than [[USD|$97]] million.

The newest building is the Wilkinson Building which is a 150,000-square-foot building opened for classes in early 2021 with new spaces for education and research related to [[interdisciplinary]] themes of [[Biomedical engineering|improving human health]], [[Quantum computing|advancing computing]] and [[Cyber-physical system|intelligent systems]], and [[sustainability]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Duke Engineering New Building |url=https://newbuilding.pratt.duke.edu/ |access-date=May 23, 2019}}</ref> It is located at Research Drive and Telcom Drive next to [[Duke University Libraries|Bostock Library]], also houses Duke Engineering's [[entrepreneurship]] initiatives. The building's name recognizes lifetime philanthropic and service contributions of Duke Engineering alumnus Jerry C. Wilkinson and family.<ref>{{cite web |date=October 15, 2020 |title=Duke's New Engineering Building Named to Honor Wilkinson Family |url=https://pratt.duke.edu/about/news/dukes-new-engineering-building-named-honor-wilkinson-family |access-date=October 15, 2020 |publisher=Duke Pratt School of Engineering |language=en}}</ref>
