Overview

Students in the MEng Artificial Intelligence for Product Innovation On-Campus Program develop strong technical skills together with an understanding of product design. After graduation, students are well-equipped to design and develop AI-based products and systems within large companies or through their own entrepreneurial ventures. Graduates go on to work in leading companies solving difficult problems across many industries, such as tech, healthcare, energy, retail, transportation and finance.

Through the program, students will learn to:

Identify and assess opportunities for the application of AI/ML in products
Design data pipelines and ML systems for scale, security and usability
Apply traditional ML and deep learning models to solve challenging problems across domains
Build full-stack software applications integrating machine learning models utilizing the latest methods and technologies

Innovative and immersive, this on-campus master's degree can be completed in 12 or 16 months.

Admissions Policies & Practices

The Duke Artificial Intelligence for Product Innovation Master of Engineering (MEng) is designed to be accessible to participants from a variety of engineering and science backgrounds.

Applicants should have:

An undergraduate degree in science or engineering (or equivalent technical work experience if your degree is in a non-technical field), and
A minimum of one (1) semester of programming (any language), and
Sufficient DUOLINGO, IELTS, or TOEFL English Language Testing scores (official results required; international students only), and
Two (2) semesters of calculus

Prior coursework in probability and statistics and linear algebra is highly encouraged, but not required for admission.

4+1 Program for Duke Students

Advanced Duke undergraduates may participate in a 4+1 Program where both a bachelor’s degree and a MEM/MEng degree may be completed in about five years. In the 4+1 Program, students may typically apply up to four graduate courses (at the 500 level or above) that were taken during their undergraduate career but not used to fulfill undergraduate degree requirements toward master's degree requirements.

Additional academic policies for Duke undergraduates in the 4+1 Program can be found here: https://prattprofessional.bulletins.duke.edu/policies/academic/early-programs

MD/MEng in Engineering Program (School of Medicine)

This five-year program is designed for MD candidates who wish to also obtain a Master of Engineering (MEng) degree. In brief, students spend four years (Years 1, 2, 4 and 5) in medical school to fulfill the MD curriculum requirements, and one year (Year 3) to take the required MEng courses detailed below. In the fourth year, students work on development of new technologies or engineering approaches (including optimization/system analysis or feasibility analysis, etc.) for improving healthcare, improving public health, or reducing health hazards and write a thesis, for which they will receive School of Medicine credit in fulfillment of their Third Year thesis requirement.
