Duke University. School of Engineering

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 became Duke University in 1924, Engineering instruction underwent a period of vigorous development. As of 2003, the School of Engineering houses the National Science Foundation Center for Advanced Cardiovascular Technology, which is a leader in the application of Engineering to Medicine, and the Vesic Engineering Library in the Teer Building. In 1999, the School of Engineering was named the Edmund T. Pratt, Jr. School of Engineering.
