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.[2] More than 30 Duke alumni and faculty have been elected to the prestigious National Academy of Engineering since its founding in 1964.[3]

The Pratt School of Engineering also maintains these academic departments:[4]

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Civil & Environmental Engineering
  • Electrical & Computer Engineering

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.[5] The Duke University Pratt School of Engineering celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2014–2015.[6]
