The School of Engineering traces its history back to 1851 when the catalogue for Normal College, the forerunner of Trinity College and Duke University, advertised a Classical course which included surveying in the sophomore year as well as architecture and engineering for seniors. Similar offerings characterized instruction in the subject of engineering throughout the 73 year period of the institution's operation as Trinity College. When Trinity College because Duke University in 1924, Engineering instruction underwent a period of vigorous development.
The School of Engineering at Duke is currently primarily housed in its own two buildings: Hudson Hall (fondly known as Old Red) and the modern Teer Building. It also shares space with other science facilities in the Levine Science Research Center which is separate from the Engineering Buildings. The School of Engineering is composed of the four departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science. There are also shared research facilities and joint research activities with numerous other departments including Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics and Medicine.
The School of Engineering houses the prestigious National Science Foundation Center for Advanced Cardiovascular Technology, which is an international leader in the application of Engineering to Medicine, and the Vesic Engineering Library in the Teer Building.
Contains the records of the School of Engineering pertaining to courses of instruction, employees, research, students, and general management. Materials in subject files are roughly organized by topics. Engineering Alumni files are largely unordered. Faculty and staff biographical files are ordered alphabetically by last name.
