The curriculum of Duke's Pratt School of Engineering, significantly transformed in recent years, immerses students in design, computing, research, and [[entrepreneurship]] — but still accommodates educational opportunities, including double majors, in a variety of disciplines from across Duke.<ref>{{cite web |title=Duke Pratt School of Engineering-Inspiring Engineers |url=https://pratt.duke.edu/about/news/publications/inspiring-engineers |website=pratt.duke.edu |date=March 7, 2018 |publisher=Duke University |access-date=October 16, 2019 |archive-date=March 21, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190321231144/https://pratt.duke.edu/about/news/publications/inspiring-engineers |url-status=live }}</ref> The school emphasizes undergraduate research opportunities with faculty. Research and design opportunities arise through a real-world design course for first-year students,<ref>{{cite web |title=Real-World Design |url=https://pratt.duke.edu/about/news/real-world-design |website=pratt.duke.edu |publisher=Duke University |access-date=October 16, 2019 |archive-date=March 21, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190321230538/https://pratt.duke.edu/about/news/real-world-design |url-status=live }}</ref> internships, independent study and research fellowships,<ref>{{cite web |title=Research Fellowships and Independent Study |url=https://pratt.duke.edu/undergrad/research |website=pratt.duke.edu |date=March 19, 2012 |publisher=Duke University |access-date=October 16, 2019 |archive-date=August 14, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190814215333/http://pratt.duke.edu/undergrad/research |url-status=live }}</ref> and through design-focused capstone courses. 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. In 2019, Duke Engineering students earned a second [[Guinness World Records|Guinness World Record]] for the world's most efficient all-electric vehicle – 797 miles per [[kilowatt-hour]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Duke students set world record with electric vehicle |url=https://abc11.com/duke-world-record-electric-car/5389201/|date=July 11, 2019 |access-date=July 30, 2022 |website=ABC11 Raleigh-Durham |language=en}}</ref>

Research expenditures at Duke Engineering exceed $88 million per year. Its faculty is highly ranked in overall research productivity among U.S. engineering schools by [[Academic Analytics]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=March 14, 2012 |title=About Duke Engineering |url=https://pratt.duke.edu/about |access-date=July 30, 2022 |publisher=Duke Pratt School of Engineering |language=en}}</ref> More than 30 Duke alumni and faculty have been elected to the prestigious [[National Academy of Engineering]] since its founding in 1964.<ref>{{Cite web |date=May 8, 2015 |title=Duke Members of the National Academy of Engineering |url=https://pratt.duke.edu/faculty/awards/nae |access-date=July 30, 2022 |publisher=Duke Pratt School of Engineering |language=en}}</ref> The school was created by Duke's board of trustees in 1939. It was named in 1999 following a $35 million gift by [[Edmund T. Pratt Jr.]], a 1947 graduate and former chief executive of [[Pfizer]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Duke Magazine {{!}} Duke |url=https://alumni.duke.edu/magazine |access-date=July 30, 2022 |website=alumni.duke.edu}}</ref> Duke University Pratt School of Engineering celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2014–2015.<ref>{{Cite web |date=January 23, 2014 |title=Duke Engineering: A History |url=https://pratt.duke.edu/alumni-giving/history |access-date=July 30, 2022 |publisher=Duke Pratt School of Engineering |language=en}}</ref>

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>
