Program Summary
The effects of climate change are impossible to ignore. But even armed with a science or engineering degree, the path to making an impact isn't a straight one. Impactful solutions require leaders who are comfortable working with uncertainty, evaluating risk, iterating a solution to better meet user needs, considering unintended consequences and anticipating future changes.
Duke’s Master of Engineering in Climate and Sustainability Engineering is designed to create such holistic leaders. Through our specialized curriculum, you will strengthen and grow your technical analysis and design skills as applied to dynamic, real-world climate change challenges. Our program builds expertise beyond traditional engineering subject matter, preparing professionals who are ready to implement nimble solutions for a rapidly changing landscape.
