Summer Outreach Efforts by Duke Engineering
Duke Engineering faculty, staff, and students spent the summer mentoring young researchers and engaging with the Durham community.
Even when undergraduate classes are out of session, Duke's campus remains active, with various outreach efforts taking place from laboratories to libraries.
Outreach Initiatives
- Mentoring young researchers
- Engaging middle schoolers in STEM
- Bringing robotics to life for kids in the Durham community
A new joint initiative between Duke Engineering and North Carolina Central University (NCCU) paired NCCU students with Duke labs to conduct their own research over nine weeks.
This program is particularly beneficial for NCCU students interested in exploring a career in engineering, as NCCU does not have an engineering school.
