About ECE.
Duke ECE offers programs leading to the B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. We currently have 100 full-time graduate students and graduate more than 80 undergraduates every year. We offer programs in both Electrical Engineering and Electrical and Computer Engineering leading to the Bachelor of Science degree as well as several double major programs including Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering, and Electrical Engineering and Physics.
The Department has some 31 primary (tenure track and professors of the practice) and 16 secondary faculty directing advanced research, and offering undergraduate and graduate courses in major areas of Electrical Engineering such as Signal Processing, Optical Systems, Microelectronics, Electromagnetics and Sensing and Computer Engineering.
Numerous opportunities for Research and Teaching Assistantships in the above areas exist for qualified graduate students. All applicants are also considered for Duke's prestigious and highly competitive J.B. Duke and International Fellowships.

Residence hall/laboratory receives state's first platinum LEED rating
DURHAM, NC -- The Home Depot Smart Home at Duke University, a 10-person student residence hall for green living and learning, has achieved a top-level platinum standard for its design from the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED rating system. The building becomes the first in North Carolina to achieve that standard.
LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.
The 6,000-square foot-residence, designed by students and advisers, earned 59 ...

The rapid convergence of social networks, mobile phones and global positioning technology has given Duke University engineers the ability to create something they call "virtual sticky notes," site-specific messages that people can leave for others to pick up on their mobile phones.
"Every mobile phone can act as a telescope lens providing real-time information about its environment to any of the 3 billion mobile phones worldwide," said Romit Roy Choudhury, an assistant professor of ...
