We are proud to bring you the 2011-12 issue of the DukEngineer Magazine, which features theexperiences and accomplishments of Pratt School of Engineering students, faculty and alumni.The cover story this year focuses on Fitzpatrick Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering, Medicineand Applied Sciences (FCIEMAS). It has been operational for about seven years, and we wanted to

reflect on the impact it has had on the Duke community and to explore the architectural innovations incorpo-rated in the building that often go unnoticed by passersby.

We have decided to cover some stories, such as the Grand Challenge Scholar (GCS) program, Smart Home,Shared Material’s Instrumentation Facility (SMiF) and the Motorsports club, that we have covered in the pastbut from a slightly different perspective. Over the past two years, the GCS program was mainly written from aprogramming perspective. This year we take a look at the life after the GCS program and see how the programhas helped recently graduated GC scholars succeed professionally. We also look at the progress and invalu-able contributions Smart Home, SMiF and Motorsports have made to different aspects of Pratt community.

We continue to cover the cutting-edge research of our faculty and graduate students. We profile GabrielLopez’s research on soft matter that could potentially help develop coating that would prevent bacteria fromsticking to solid surfaces. We also showcase Yaroslav Urzhumov and David Smith’s research on a fluid cloakthat helps hide an object from a flowing fluid. Finally, we profile Lingchong You’s research in synthetic biologythat has wide-ranging applications from diagnosing new cancers to finding new ways of fabricating materials.

Pratt has evolved significantly over the past few years, and there are exciting new opportunities available toengineers who want to dabble in liberal arts. Some of these interdisciplinary opportunities are not as visible oncampus, and we have two articles in this year’s magazine that showcase these opportunities. The first articleis related to interesting research opportunities available for engineers at the Duke Marine Lab in Beaufort. Thesecond article highlights how music is intertwined with the Pratt curriculum and there are ample opportunitiesfor engineers to pursue their passion for music.

Furthermore, we have continued the recent tradition of featuring students summer experiences related tointernships, Pratt Fellows research and international services trips. This year we have writers at differentphases in their careers: from freshmen to seniors, to grad school and beyond. Therefore, wehave an interesting piece on how perspective of being an engineer changes from year toyear. The last page of the publication features “The Lighter Side” article that we hopewill make this issue of DukEngineer magazine entertaining.

We would like to thank our writers, Pratt faculty, architects at Zimmer GunsulFrasca and all the other members of the Pratt community who helped us throughoutthe process of publishing this magazine. We would also like to thank our advisor,Richard Merritt with the Pratt Communications Department for his patience andinvaluable support. We hope that you will share comments, questions and concernswith us through our website at: http://www.dukengineer.pratt.duke.edu.

Enjoy!

2012 dukengineer 3

Last spring I had the great pleasure to experience animpressive example of engineering in action. One of ourstudents, Katrina Wisdom, combined her knowledge ofthe laws of physics with her passion for dance. In her

presentation, and performance, entitled “Fouette Turns andFourier Series,” she explained and demonstrated the subtle inter-sections of engineering and dance.

At one point, three volunteer dancers were asked performturns in a synchronized fashion. I’m sure you’ve seen these turns.On one leg, with eyes fixated on one spot, they spun until theirheads whipped around to gaze the same spot. Over and overagain. As they spun faster and faster, a “resonance” made itappear that they were spinning even faster and with less effortthan if they had been dancing alone. Katrina cleverly used art toprovide an insight into an underlying scientific phenomenon –namely oscillations — that an average person could grasp.

As I think back to that day, I sense a similar metaphorical res-onance taking place here at Pratt – instead of three dancersworking together cooperatively, I see faculty, students and staffproviding a certain “resonance” that makes this a great place tobe. Every day, I feel a palpable momentum driving all aspects ofour mission forward.

By just about any measure, Pratt is a growing, thriving envi-ronment to live, learn and teach. And with the way the futurelooks, I don’t foresee that momentum slowing down.

Research expenditures have increased dramatically. For U.S.News and World Reporting rankings, we reported an increasefrom $74 million to $87.5 million in research expenditures. Ouractual number is closer to $94 million when we include subcon-tracts. This is very close to our longstanding goal of reaching$100 million in research, in the league of engineering researchpowerhouses.

Pratt landed a $20 million endowment for the Duke CoulterTranslation Partnership and a $13.6 million to fund a regionalcenter for soft matter research.

But what we are really all about here at Pratt is people. Whatthe research growth enables us to do is offer richer learningopportunities and to more students.

For example, we graduated 62 new Ph.D.s in the spring, anincrease of 10 more students than the previous year.

We launched our new master of engineering program last fallwith seven distinct degree concentrations spanning all four ofour departments. The goal is to provide an alternative to the tra-ditional, research-focused master of science curriculum and givestudents a competitive edge in their industry careers. Studentsgain business acumen to help them navigate corporate environ-

ments and better prepare for project management while gainingreal world, practical research skills. The new degree is drivingmasters growth at Pratt, which rose from 360 to 418 students.In another sign that the Duke-Pratt brand is hot, masters appli-cations are up nearly 70 percent for next fall.

This fall, a new bachelors of science degree in energy engi-neering is set to launch. It will give students an opportunity topursue a second major in an exciting interdisciplinary subjectmatter that spans all four Pratt departments. We expect to addto the Pratt faculty two professors of the practice with industryexperience in the energy sector. These individuals will supportboth the energy engineering second major, and the energy andenvironment certificate we jointly administer with the NicholasSchool of the Environment.

Together with the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences, we aredeveloping a Duke-wide undergraduate entrepreneurship pro-gram that will include both curricular and extracurricular ele-ments such as practicums, startup opportunities, and intern-ships. We hope to launch this fall.

The list goes go on and on.As you read the informative and creative stories in this issue

– all written by Pratt students – I’m sure you’ll get a clear pic-ture of how amazingly diverse, creative and dedicated are thepeople who make up the Pratt community.

Where else could I kick up my heels at a student presentationlike Katrina’s or the annual E-Ball? Or build Ritz Cracker-CheezWhiz towers, toss bean bags or race in sacks on a gorgeous sum-mer day in front of Hudson Hall? We all know it is an awe-some responsibility to train – or become — the next generationof problem-solvers, but it’s also great to have fun.

What a great place to be!

From the ESG President

In March, ESG hosted the annual E-Ball at the top floor of the UniversityTower – the first time in several years thatit has been off campus. The event sawhuge demand and all who attendedenjoyed an unforgettable night bondingwith classmates and friends alike. E-Social, the staple E-Quad happy hour ofsorts also saw a change from the usual thisyear with the addition of “Super-E-Socials” once a month. With plentifulfood and an emphasis on planned pro-gramming, these events brought togetherseveral engineering clubs and studentsfrom many all class years. We hope tocontinue to see many underclassmen atthese events, so as to further solidify thePratt bond that transcends class year. Ourother E-events, including E-Picnics, E-Oktoberfest, and E-Kickball, have beenhits as always, especially the E-Shirts thisyear: Pratt Bracket and Cheat Shirt.

A year ago, ESG created theAcademic Action Committee. Thisgroup of extremely active students ischarged with creating positive change inthe academic environment in Pratt in arapid timeframe. They delivered in a bigway this year in creating an engineeringskills course that took place for the firsttime this fall. The fall course is brokeninto four modules each teaching an

applied engineering skill, and hasreceived rave reviews.

Finally, we have spent some time torevise our decades-old constitution tobring it up to date with our current goalsand operations. In this revision, we haveadded a new position on ESG, the indus-try relations chair. This ESG member,the first of whom will be elected inJanuary, will continue our already strongefforts in bringing companies to E-Socialsto provide networking opportunities tostudents.

ESG looks forward to continuing atradition of making Pratt life in someregards more bearable, but in mostregards flat-out awesome. We invite anyand all feedback and if you are particular-ly interested, run for election for one ofour positions. I hope to see you at ournext event!

Sincerely,

David PiechPresident, Engineering Student Government

t Duke, we find ourselves surroundedby an illustrious faculty whose history ofgroundbreaking research inspires us toboth follow in their footsteps and blazenew trails forward. This sense of ambi-tion and drive is reinforced by our peers-- hardworking, creative individualstruly committed to pursuing theirgoals. We find ourselves in awe of theaccomplishments of those graduatingand amazed at how bright each incom-ing class is.

While it is easy to get caught up inour academics, whether studying for amidterm or submitting a paper to a jour-nal, Duke’s Engineering GraduateStudent Council (EGSC) believes thatthere is more to graduate school than justour individual bodies of academic work.This principle guides the council’sefforts, as we aim to foster positive rela-tionships between graduate students, andhelp each other maintain a healthy work-life balance during our time in Pratt.

This year, EGSC has taken on co-sponsorship of E-socials, working withthe undergrads to continue to improvePratt’s popular weekly happy hour andmake sure it appeals to our graduatecommunity. We’re excited to bring offi-cial graduate student involvement to thePratt tradition, and believe that eventslike E-Socials give us opportunities tointeract and get to know one anotheroutside of the laboratory and classroom.Our goal is to ensure that each social

event we are involved with bringsunique value to all members of Pratt,whether it is networking with potentialemployers at E-Social or Halloween-themed bowling with other graduatedepartments. We believe that the con-nections, whether made over beer andpizza or a couple of frames, can buildlasting relationships, and that thoserelationships will make up a valuablenetwork down the road. We think thatleaving campus should not mean leavingthe Duke community, and that being aBlue Devil comes with a lifetime mem-bership.

The biggest event that EGSC hostedthis fall was theMahato Memorial“Envisioning theInvisible” event.Held in memory offormer graduatestudent AbhijitMahato, the eventincluded a photog-raphy contest tocelebrate Abhijit’sinterest in combin-ing science andvisualization, aswell as a lecture byNickolay Hristov,entitled “Pixels,Frames and 3DModels: Visual

Storytelling for the Modern Naturalist.”The event was a big success, and EGSChopes to continue the program in perpe-tuity. The best entries from the contestare on display all year in the CIEMASatrium, highlighting the cross-discipli-nary interests of our students and faculty.

EGSC also seeks to help studentsprepare themselves for careers beyondgraduation, and to give them perspec-tive on the work going on across engi-

neering. For students from all programsseeking careers in all fields (industry,academia, entrepreneurship, governmentand otherwise), EGSC wants to makesure that they have interesting and use-ful exposure to as many future opportu-nities as possible. This has includedseminars, bringing industry representa-tives to campus to meet with studentsand keeping students informed aboutcareer fairs and other important events.This year, we are also working with thefaculty and administration to develop avision of the future of Pratt and thekind of programming that build ouralready-strong reputation.

EGSC cannot achieve its goals with-out the help of volunteers. Membershipin EGSC is open, and all students areencouraged to attend our monthly meet-ings to help us improve the graduateexperience and to pull off the eventsthemselves. Creative thinking enables usto stretch our budget and fund newactivities and all ideas are welcome.

EducationA Few Things You May Not Have Known About

Engineering and Music at Duke

As freshmen in Engineering 53 withMichael Gustafson, assistant professor ofthe practice in electrical and computerengineering, students are given theopportunity to combine their knowledgeof Matlab with their interest in music.In lab, students’ iPods are connected to

circuit boards that are wired to the com-puters. Students then choose 10 secondsof their favorite song to manipulate invarious ways. Students adjust the fre-quency ranges with different Matlabalgorithms.

After playing back each adjustmentto the clip, sophomore Lauren Morrisonremembered, “how exciting it was aftereach modification, to listen to how thesong was affected.” Eventually, the songwas altered beyond recognition. Laurensaid “after repeating the same 10 secondsof my favorite song over and over for thewhole lab period, I no longer wanted tohear it again!” Each student brings theirown style of music to the lab, personaliz-ing their learning experience of Matlab.

When Clark Bray, assistant professorof the practice of mathematics, lectureshis students on linear differential equa-tions, he uses music to help his studentsbetter understand the beat frequencywhen there are multiple frequencies. Heexplains why certain notes played on apiano are more pleasing to hear thanothers because of sine and cosine waves.When listening to music, we usuallyhear multiple frequencies simultaneous-ly. Bray explained that when you hit a

Every day as we walk to and from class listening to music on ouriPods, attend engineering lectures, and participate in labs andindependent projects, engineering and music are united. In Pratt,from the first freshman courses to senior design projects, musicis intertwined with our curriculum.

When C and C# are played simultaneous theycreate a harsh dissonant sound because thefrequencies are very close together.

middle C and C# note on the piano atonce the noise is unpleasant because thefrequencies of the two notes are veryclose together, specifically C: 261 Hzand C#: 277 Hz. Because the differencebetween the two notes is small, the beatfrequency is also small and thus thenotes are dissonant, creating aharsh rattling noise. In contrast,playing middle C and C anoctave higher, the beat frequen-cy will be larger and the noteswill be consonant.

In BME 153, biomedicalengineering juniors are chargedwith the unusual task of build-ing and designing an electric

guitar. The class focuses on the basic prin-ciples of electronic instrumentation withbiomedical examples. Although notobvious at first, there are many connec-tions between biomedical engineering anddesigning and building electric guitars.Medical devices to aid those who have a

hearing impediment or aredeaf have similar electronicsto electric guitars.

Two Pratt seniors,Lindsay Johnson and CoreyWeiner, combined their pas-sion for music with theirknowledge of engineering todesign a custom electronicmusical device for a para-

lyzed musician. In 1985, the musicianwas paralyzed from the chest down in adiving accident, impeding his ability toplay the electric bass guitar, one of hisgreatest passions in life. The “hammeredbass guitar” was built for biomedialengineering instructor Laurence Bohs’class for biomedical engineering seniors.This course challenges students to designdevices that will improve handicappedpeople’s lives. The custom electricdevice has round sensor pads that, whenstruck with wooden hammers, produceelectric guitar sounds. Inside the ham-mered bass are three musical instrumentdigital interfaces (MIDI,) that converteach hammer hit on each pad into anote. The pads have “piezoelectric”material that translates pressure into asignal. This device can be plugged intoany keyboard or other synthesizer.

From learning about Matlab and fre-quencies, to studying differential equa-tions and sound waves, to buildingmusical instruments for class assign-ments, the influence of music in engi-neering is all around us at Duke.

he EngineeringSustainable Design andConstruction course (CE185) offers students a

unique experience not typically found inother courses at Duke. According toAssociate Professor of the Practice DavidSchaad, the course is focused on thedesign and testing of solutions to com-plex interdisciplinary design products in aservice-learning context. Design projectsfrom last semester ranged from streamrestoration in Beaufort, North Carolina,to rice-farming in Libya.

One of the projects that attracted themost attention was a culvert bridge reha-bilitation project in El Salvador. Nine ofthe 24 students enrolled in CE 185 spentthe semester working on this design. Theoriginal culvert bridge is 37 years old andwas used by farmers and other locals totransport crops and to reach vitalresources in the rural El Salvador commu-nity. Due to frequent flooding, the bridgewas in a severely dilapidated state.Without the means or knowledge to

properly repair the bridge, locals desper-ately needed assistance.

Kathryn Latham, a junior civil engineer,was one of the students who worked onthis culvert bridge design and offered herperspective. “In most other engineeringclasses, you’re just doing problem sets.But with this course, you have the oppor-tunity to create and implement yourdesign. You learn what it’s like to workfor a real client.”

Schaad structured the class so thatstudents would have the opportunity tolearn about the social and environmentalimpacts of the design projects.Occasionally, guest speakers would stopin to lecture on sustainable design. “Itwas a good balance,” said Latham.“[Schaad] would float around and help uswhen we needed it. He would give usadvice when we were stuck.”

While everyone in the class workedon a design for a real-world problem, onlyabout a third of the students went on toimplement the designs they completed inclass. For Latham, traveling to El Salvador

to apply the design was thebest part of the experience.However, upon arriving in ElSalvador, she quickly realizedthat the challenges did not endwith the completion of thedesign at the end of the course.

During the semester, effec-tively communicating withpeople in such a rural, under-developed area proved to be agreat obstacle for Latham andthe other students. As a result,the students had to make sev-eral assumptions during the

during a minor flood.These floods, which

occur nearly daily during the rainy

season, are the maincontributor to the

erosion and dilapida-tion on the bridge

design process. These assumptions includ-ed things like the velocity of the water,precise dimensions of the bridge, andwhat the bridge was made of. “It was alittle frustrating because we had done allof this work during the semester, butonce arriving at the site, we had to redo alot of the design,” Latham said.

While these challenges were tiring,they did not go unappreciated. “Theimplementation was a lot more interest-ing when we hit those speed bumpsbecause once we were at the site, I felt Iwas able to use those design and problemsolving skills that we learned in class,”said Latham.

CE 185 also allows students to seethat the application of skills learned inthe classroom may not always be whatthey expect. “Another thing we experi-enced is that sometimes what we learn—the technical stuff, really specific ways todo stuff—that’s not always the best wayto get something done,” Latham said.“We found that the locals would havemuch better solutions to problems thanwe could ever come up with. It was inter-

esting to let that go andrealize that our technicaleducation might need tobe augmented a littlebit.”

When asked if she would recommendthis course to another student, Lathamresponded without the slightest hint ofhesitation: “Definitely. For many engi-neering students, especially underclass-men, it’s difficult to find an opportunity

to participate in this type of design. It’svery rewarding to be involved from startto finish on a project like this.”

The Engineering Student Government (ESG) is an administrativeorganization run by students to make the four-year Pratt expe-rience all the more worthwhile. ESG takes a three-prongedapproach to changing Pratt life for the better: planning eventsthat bring the engineering student body closer together, makingstudent-oriented academic policy changes, organizing serviceand outreach initiatives for the Durham community.

ESG is made up of 11 students, head-ed by executive president David Piech, asenior. Sitting in a conference room onthe third floor of CIEMAS, spoke ani-matedly about the role of ESG and theeffect it has both on its members and thestudent body it governs.

“ESG is really to make the lives of stu-dents and their experience here at Prattall the better. We make it fun … wehelp solve some of the problems,” heexplained. He went on to elaborateabout the society’s dogma. “We’re a laid-back organization … but at the sametime, we focus on getting things done.We want our members to be trained asleaders, to set up their own initiativesand to get things done.”

ESG officers are encouraged to take onpet projects in areas that interest them,from fostering a sense of belonging with-in each graduating class to performingservice in the local community. For

education

example, last year, the 2014 class presi-dent Nathan Li had foam fingers with theESG logo emblazoned on them made forPratt students to take to the Duke-Michigan men’s basketball game.

For engineering students, it is oftenquipped that life is all work and no play.The ESG goes to great lengths to ensurethat this is most definitely not the case.Weekly E-Socials held on E-Quad bringfreshmen to faculty members together tomingle over free food. The E-Picnic,held once each semester, is on a muchgrander scale, with a live band, geeky

games and competitions, and of course,the iconic (not to mention, free) Pratttee-shirts that make Trinity studentsgreen with envy. The annual E-Ballserves as a more formal social gathering,giving students the opportunity to dressup, put on their dancing shoes, andenjoy a night of elegance in the companyof the fellow Pratt classmates (and a fewof their Trinity dates).

In terms of policy, for a while, ESGdealt with matters on an ad hoc basis.All this changed August 2010 with thecreation of the Academic Advising

Committee (AAC), an undergraduatepanel aimed at influencing administra-tive policy. Members are chosen using anapplication and interview process toscreen for students who are truly inter-ested in making a lasting difference inPratt. Although a nascent organization,it has already made an impact on thePratt community.

Dianna Liu, a senior who is the vicepresident of ESG and a member of theAAC, explained some of the majoraccomplishments of the committee. Thispast year alone, the AAC managed to

prevent the Hudson computer clusterfrom being converted into office space.Using the overwhelmingly negative stu-dent response to the idea, the AAC con-vinced Pratt administration to keep thecluster and the two groups are nowworking together to redesign Hudson toreflect the growing needs of the facultyand students.

Another major accomplishment underAAC’s belt is the establishment of a newskills course: EGR 165, created inresponse to the complaints of Pratt BMEgraduates who, upon entering the world

of industrial engineering, realized thatthere were some gaps in their technicalknowledge. Duke BME students nowhave the opportunity to learn to usetools like Maple and SolidWorks beforegoing into industry. The AAC has reallygrown into its own and is currently tack-ling issues concerning student-advisorcompatibility, overall student-facultyinteraction, and freshman transitioninginto the Pratt community.

ESG has also extended its resources togiving back to the local community. Thecommunity chair, Emily Sloan, has

spearheaded an effort tomake the world of sci-ence more interestingto local schoolchildren.She has worked to setup a program for Prattstudents to act asScience Olympiadcoaches in a local mid-dle school. Previouslythe school lacked theresources or facultyinterest to actively pur-sue the idea, but Prattstudents have steppedin to fill the void. Thevolunteers visit theschool on a regularbasis and help the stu-dents prepare for com-petitions, providingthese children theopportunity to pursue

scientific knowledge in an extracurricu-lar setting.

The ESG and the AAC both serve asinfluential groups in the Pratt communi-ty, focusing on everything from socialactivities to policy changes to communi-ty service. The life of Pratt students ismade all the more multidimensional bythe efforts of these two student-runorganizations.

“We created the national program toencourage students to develop the skillsetand mindset to address the grand chal-lenges of engineering over the course oftheir careers,” said Tom Katsouleas, deanof the Pratt School of Engineering. “Thethought was that if we could create acadre of a couple thousand graduates ayear nationwide, we could make a differ-ence in the world. With the growth ofthe program to over 40 peer schools, Iam optimistic we will do just that.”

The Grand Challenge Scholars Program atDuke has graduated two classes of schol-ars—Simon Scholars and StavrosNiarchos Foundation Scholars—and theinaugural class graduated in 2010. As apart of the Duke GCSP, every student

must complete a portfolio satisfying fiverequirements: a research-basedpracticum, interdisciplinary curriculum,entrepreneurial component, global com-ponent, and a service-learning compo-nent. The Grand Challenge Scholars havetaken these varied experiences beyondDuke and continue to do great things inindustry, academia, and the public/non-profit sector.

The first class NAE Grand ChallengeSimon Scholars included a FulbrightScholar who is now attending graduateschool in aerospace engineering inEngland; a M.D./Ph.D. student at theUniversity of California, Los Angeles; anassociate manager at Google working in arotational program before heading to

FeaturesThe National Academy of Engineering (NAE) Grand Challenge Scholars Program (GCSP)

had its roots in 2008, when the NAE selected 14 Grand Challenges for Engineering that are ofutmost importance to secure a viable future for society. For the past 100 years, the greatest engi-neering achievements are mainly defined by inventions such as the airplane or lasers. However,when an NAE committee was selecting the new engineering grand challenges, a paradigm shift

came to light. Almost all of the challenges require technological innovation, but more importantly, theyrequire engineers to span across multiple fields such as public policy and other humanities to tackle theproblem from a systems approach. The challenges address problems from the basic necessities of life suchas how we will feed ourselves with how to Manage the nitrogen cycle or Provide energy from fusion to the issuesof the modern era with how to Secure cyberspace and Enhance virtual reality.

Harvard Business School for a Masters ofBusiness Adminsitration; and a volunteerworking in India who has now taken aposition in environmental engineering,among many others.

The second class to graduate, calledNAE Grand Challenge Stavros NiarchosFoundation Scholars, continued achievinggreatness in the fields of their respectivechallenges. Among their ranks is a Ph.D.candidate in biomedical engineering atDuke, a business analyst for Capital One,a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, and a mas-ter’s student at Stanford studying civiland environmental engineering.

Niru Maheswaranathan, a 2011 GCSPgraduate, chose the Reverse-engineer thebrain grand challenge as his focus whileat Duke. Maheswaranathan felt thatunderstanding how the brain works froma fundamental engineering point of viewwould allow us to develop better thera-pies for neurological diseases as well asbuild more intelligent machines. Whilean undergraduate, he used the GCSP tostudy neuroscience from both the scien-tific and engineering point of view.Maheswaranathan says the research com-ponent of the program was very impact-ful in that it gave him the opportunity to

dive into the field that he had becomevery passionate about. The GCSP firstgot Maheswaranathan interested in neu-roscience-related questions, and he hascontinued along that path and is now aPh.D. candidate in the neurosciencesgraduate program at Stanford University.

Anna Brown, also a 2011 NiarchosFoundation Scholar, chose to work on theEngineer better medicines challenge. Shepursued a wide range of activities fromworking in radiation biologist ProfessorMark Dewhirst’s lab as a PrattUndergraduate Research Fellow with thegoal of improving endoscopic imaging

technology in order to better characterizethe boundaries of tumors. She travelledmultiple times across international bor-ders with Project HEAL (HealthEducation and Awareness in LatinAmerica) to provide health education ini-tiatives to women and children inHonduras.

One powerful sentiment that Brownand other scholars have echoed was thatthe GCSP was complementary to thethings that they were already doing andhelped unify two very different interestssuch as intensive academic research and

developing world humanitarian work.The GCSP Program integrated well withother programs already established atDuke such as the Pratt Fellows Program,DukeEngage, and Engineers withBorders.

Brown discovered that she enjoyed theintellectual environment found in the labdue to her GCSP and Pratt Fellows expe-rience and is now pursuing a research-based masters of philosophy in oncologyat Cambridge, with funding from CancerResearch UK. When she’s done, sheplans on returning to Duke to attendmedical school. When Brown attendedthe Grand Challenges Summit conferenceas a student, she noted that people wereaddressing the same grand challengesfrom very different fields and hopes toapply this approach towards her work inradiation oncology in the future.

Undergraduate Jared Dunnmon, aNiarchos Foundation Scholar, worked ona multitude of projects that actually tar-geted two of the grand challenges: Restoreand improve urban infrastructure and Makesolar energy economical. He combined theseefforts into a project to make alternativeenergy economical.

In addition to those who are continu-ing their education, some of the GCSPgraduates are making their mark inindustry. Eric Thorne, a Stavros NiarchosFoundation Scholar, is currently workingas a business transformation consultantfor IBM as a part of the Consulting byDegrees Program. Thorne chose toaddress how to Make solar energy economicalchallenge. As a component of his GCSPexperience, Thorne used his GCSP fund-ing to travel to Uganda to work with asolar start-up, Village Energy, where hegot to work hands-on developing anactual product.

Thorne said, “The Grand ChallengeScholars Program was a nice way tobridge the divide between the pure serv-ice aspect of community-minded work

and the pure engineering aspects of thePratt Fellows Program. It allows you togain a wide array of experiences and seehow they intersect to make a realimpact.”

GCSP graduate Ben Gagne is workingin industry. He is a Duke MEMS gradu-ate with a certificate in aerospace engi-neering and is currently working for GEAviation in the Edison EngineeringDevelopment Program designing jetengines. Gagne felt that placing yourwork within the larger context of thechallenge gave it more meaning. Gagnealso notes that the GCSP allows studentsto showcase a wide variety of skills suchas entrepreneurship, teamwork, and aglobal mindset that are highly valued byemployers.

It seems apparent that the Duke GCSPgraduates are leading successful and ful-

filling lives, partially due to the knowl-edge and experiences gained from theirGCSP experience at Duke. Whether stilladdressing their Grand Challenge orbeing involved in a more tangential man-ner, the GCSP has graduated a group ofengineers who are a great boon to society.To learn more about joining the GrandChallenge Scholars Program, contactAssistant Dean of Education andOutreach Programs Martha Absher at mabsher@duke.edu or visit the Duke GCSPwebsite at http://www.pratt.duke.edu/ grand-challengescholars.

FGenerally, engineeringhomework and loungingon the beach aren’t com-patible. At the DukeUniversity Marine Lab,

however, there is ample opportunity forPratt students to earn credits and enjoybeautiful, coastal North Carolina.

Located on Pivers Island, the DukeUniversity Marine Lab is a fully operablesatellite campus with classrooms, labora-tory space, a library, a dining hall, com-munal student spaces, and dormitories. Inaddition to these traditional facilities, theMarine Lab has some more unique ameni-ties: kayaks and canoes for student use, a

swim dock, and two research vessels.While the Marine Lab curriculum hashistorically catered to students studyingenvironmental science, biology, or earthand ocean sciences, there are many oppor-tunities for engineers.

Dr. Cindy Van Dover, the currentDirector of the Marine Lab, stronglybelieves in the application of technologyto the ocean sciences. After receiving herPh.D. from the Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology and Woods HoleOceanographic Institution JointProgram, Van Dover piloted the deep-seasubmersible ALVIN, which enabled herto make groundbreaking discoveries

related to deep-sea hydrothermal ventcommunities.

“Innovation in research,” Van Dovernotes, ”often comes about both by under-standing what the next set of key ques-tions are and by designing and buildingthe instrument…that can help deliver theanswers.”

Another strong proponent of the neces-sity of technological innovation in marinescience is joint Pratt-Nicholas SchoolProfessor Doug Nowacek. Also a graduateof the MIT and Woods Hole PhD pro-gram, Nowacek’s research focuses on bioa-coustics and signal processing. As a resultof his faculty appointment in the

Electrical and Computer Engineering(ECE) Department, he frequently visitsmain campus to interact with studentsand faculty. He became interested inthe technology-development side ofoceanography when a mentor at Woods

Hole explained to him that oceanographywas still a very young field, and thatmany of the tools necessary to answerresearch questions they were pursuing didnot yet exist.

“So if you find a cool science questionthat you want to address,” he explains,“you have to make the tool, and some peo-ple shy away from that but I thought thatwas part of the fun.”

This belief in technology inspired theidea of an ‘Engineering Semester’ at theMarine Lab, designed with courses toattract engineers, and provide at least oneengineering area elective credit. Coursesinclude: Marine Molecular Microbiology,Marine Molecular Ecology, Introduction toBioacoustics, Introduction to PhysicalOceanography, and Independent Study.Nowacek’s bioacoustics course and inde-pendent study are offered in the ECEdepartment as ECE182L and ECE 191,

respectively. The other courses may be ofinterest to engineering students due totheir quantitative nature.

One of the most important considera-tions for engineering students interestedin spending time at the Marine Lab isadvance schedule planning. Graduationrequirements such as courses in theNatural Sciences and Social Science cate-gories can easily be fulfilled in a semesterat the Marine Lab, and there are certainlyadvantages to doing so. During bothsemesters, the Marine Lab offers signatureTravel Courses where students go on field-study trips to locations such as PuertoRico, Singapore, Costa Rica. Courses at

the Marine Lab also take many field trips;students in summer marine science classesoften spend a few hours per day collectingcritters and taking excursions to surround-ing islands.

Martin Steren, ME ’12, had a stronginterest in ocean science before studying atthe Marine Lab, and arranged his scheduleto spend fall semester of junior year inBeaufort. “As long as I can remember Ihave had an interest in marine biology, “Martin explained, “and I would love to usemy engineering background to help devel-op devices to study marine animals.”Martin spent his semester taking classesand assisting an ECE student with his

Pratt students have the opportunity toperform research within the intimate,supportive Marine Lab environment. Inaddition to Nowacek’s electrical engi-neering projects, many other Marine Labfaculty have engineering-related researchinterests.

Upon arrival at the Marine Lab, VanDover says engineering students wouldfind faculty members who are “keen toput their design and analytical skills towork to consider a marine research prob-lem in a new light.”

Jim Hench’s research lab in physicaloceanography has hosted students inter-ested in fluid dynamics and complexmodeling, and features an operable salt-water flume for experiments. In addi-tion, students with interest in program-ming and software development maywant to look to Dave Johnston. He hasbeen a pioneer in digital learning, work-ing with the computer science depart-ment to develop interactive iPad appli-cations to replace textbooks in hisMarine Mammals and MarineMegafauna classes.

On top of these faculty, Van Doversays, “there’s scope for field testing of

ocean instruments developed on cam-pus.” She also mentions the updatedteleconference capabilities at the MarineLab, noting that it would be easy forstudents on campus to stay connected tomentors on Piver’s Island.

With these mentors, Pratt studentshave been able to earn independentstudy credit, participate in Marine Labresearch scholarship summer programs,and even do research for Pratt Fellows.The administration and faculty at theMarine Lab is willing to work with stu-

dents to meet their needs. Nowacek ishappy to report that he has now workedwith students in all four engineeringdisciplines, “I sit in the ECE but I’vealways wanted it to be something that

we could offer opportunities to anydepartment in Pratt.”

Even if students cannot spend asemester away from Durham, the MarineLab offers a variety of summer coursesand research scholarship programs. RossTaggart, CEE ’12, spent a summer at theMarine Lab as a participant in theBookhout Research Scholarship program.The Bookhout Scholarship funds stu-dents to take a class during first summersession and perform an independentstudy project during the second summer

session, both related to marine inverte-brates. For his research project, Rossstudied the response of blue crabs toacoustic signals.

In addition to the more obvious perksof proximity to the beach, small classsizes, transportation and admission toCameron Indoor during basketball sea-son, and Chef Sly’s delicious cooking,spending time at the Marine Lab may bea rewarding intellectual experience forengineers. Both Van Dover and Nowaceksite the potential draw for engineers toocean science. “The oceans are an engi-neer’s dream world, I should think,” VanDover stated. Most notably, ocean engi-neering forces engineers to face a wholenew set of design challenges due to fac-tors such as high salinity and pressure.

“Its using what you’ve already learnedand what you’re learning and applyingit in a novel context, “ Nowacekexplained, “between what we don’tknow about the oceans as well as theenvironment for which you have toengineer, to me, should be a really fun

challenge for any young engineer.”After graduation, engineers with

marine experience have many educationoptions. Van Dover notes that, “cross-training is always a powerful way to pre-pare for a career, and engineering andmarine science and oceanography are nat-ural partners.” In addition, she notes thatthey may even have an advantage.“Students with an undergraduate back-ground in engineering who choose to pur-sue a graduate degree in marine science oroceanography are going to be in demand,especially since the future of oceanogra-phy is in advanced technologies.”

Likewise, both Nowacek and VanDover express that industry, especiallythe energy sector, would employ engi-neers with marine backgrounds. Moreimportantly, the ocean needs motivatedengineers, in the interest of conservation.Nowacek explains, “if we have betterengineered things, well, we don’t haveDeepwater Horizon. There’s alwaysgoing to be the push to get into evermore difficult and tricky situations, and

the only way we’re going to guarantee,or at least minimize the risk of that isto have really well-engineered compo-nents and tools.”

Aside from the energy sector, there arecompanies that design and build oceanequipment. The Marine Lab has a con-nection with iRobot’s maritime division,based in Durham; they bring their newequipment for testing in Beaufort. Oneof Nowacek’s ECE students worked on aproject integrating an acoustic detectorwith a Seaglider to collect continuoussound data, participating in a summerinternship with iRobot, and supple-menting with independent study credit.

Both Ross and Martin note that theywill continue to pursue their interest inmarine science after graduation, andthey believe their time spent inBeaufort will help them achieve thesegoals. Martin says that his dream jobwould be to work as an engineer devel-oping tools at Woods Hole. He believesthat the relationships he has developedat the Marine Lab will, “prove invalu-

able to [his] future job search.” For students still searching for post-

graduation options, the Marine Lab mayexpose engineers to a whole new set ofopportunities. During his summer at theMarine Lab, Ross discovered a new pas-sion. “My research and studies at theMarine Lab sparked my interest in themarine environment and aquatic chem-istry which will definitely influence mychoice of career.”

Interestingly, Nowacek started to seri-ously consider marine science after par-ticipating in a summer research experi-ence in college which gave studentsfrom small liberal arts colleges theopportunity to do research at Duke andDavidson. The project he was assignedto was in Beaufort at the Marine Lab.

Pratt students who have spent time atthe Marine Lab enthusiastically reflecton their experiences. In addition tointeresting research opportunities andunique classroom experiences, studentssay that that spending time on theisland is a lot of fun. Ross speaks posi-tively saying, “the Marine Lab was oneof [his] most memorable experiences atDuke”, and encouraging everyone tospend at least a summer session therebecause “the Marine Lab has somethingfor everyone.”

Martin echoes this sentiment remi-niscing that his semester there was“without a doubt [his] favorite semesterat Duke. I loved all the classes I was inand the people there were great.” Evenafter years of working in the field,Nowacek expresses content and excite-ment. “I love this, you work greatplaces. It’s a work hard, play hard thing.You work your tail off, and then youwalk outside and you’re in the ocean.”

So, the next time your problem setsare getting you down, think about plan-ning to spend some time at the beach.

Before you can determine how a perspective haschanged, first you must determine what exactly youare looking at. What is constant, but seen from adifferent angle for the first time. In engineering,it’s the work. The high workload has been the only

constant throughout the years. As a child, stealthily disassembling the kitchen appliances was

far more work than playing with Barbies; as an undergrad, calcu-lus was far more work than sociology; as a working engineer,repeatedly building and testing prototypes wasfar more work than filing papers or answeringphones. Yet, for some reason, we all still do it.Something pushes us toward engineeringdespite the all-nighters and partial differentialequations. Having fought through undergradand a master’s degree without fully graspingthe role of an engineer, I am returning to grad-uate school for the second time with a com-pletely new perspective on the point, the func-tion, and the ultimate goal of all this work.

As undergraduates, students are mainly fol-lowing the paths laid out for them. Thehomework assignments are taxing, and whilecalculus and physics are interesting enough, atthose levels they’re still far too vague to bepractically usable. It’s not until the upper-level courses that these theories actually become specific enoughto have a place and a purpose in the world. So why do it? Whynot switch to something simpler? For me, it was because ofthose rare moments when phenomena that seemed mysterioussuddenly became understandable. When I combined gravity andinertia and predicted where that ball would land. When Ilearned about muscle structure, and how contractile force wasdetermined. Solving these little mysteries just wasn’t going tohappen in any other major, and finally understanding theseanswers was more than worth the long nights at the library.

In graduate school, the perspective shifts dramatically. Yes,there are still classes with structured learning regimens and end-less theories, but in graduate school there is also research.Graduate school was the first place I was ever asked to take a the-ory I had learned from a class and apply it to explain somethingnew. The work of all that memorization and all those proofssuddenly makes sense when, for the first time, you can draw con-clusions not found in any textbook. It’s a scary moment, the firsttime you realize there are no more answers in the back of the

book. The knowledge you have suddenly becomes a lot morevaluable.

The working world makes the point of all this effort evenclearer still. As an engineer for the Navy, I designed and builtunderwater breathing systems. The four other people on theproject team and I laboriously and painstaking designed,machined, tested, and redesigned every single part of somethingthat would eventually keep a human being alive. And every sin-gle part required some skill I worked hard to learn in engineer-

ing school. How do you configure the oxygensensors? Circuits class. How do you ensurethat the gases are properly mixed in thebreathing loop? Fluid mechanics. Because Isurvived the workload, because I managed topower through all the math and the science, Imade something that lets a person surviveunderwater. The theory, the studying, andthe homework assignments all come tofruition because as an engineer you are able tophysically create something useful. There isnothing more satisfying.

The first time I went through graduateschool, I got sick. Instead of completing myPh.D. as planned, I ended up dropping with amaster’s degree to deal with my illness. Itwas one of the greatest regrets of my life,

until the Navy offered me the chance to go back. For me gradu-ate school, and Duke are the fulfillment of a very long-standingdream.

With a Ph.D., I’ll be able to lead my own research, to decidewhat questions I want to try to answer next. Still, sometimes itis tempting to lose the perspective I’ve gained over the past fewyears. Today my brain was utterly masticated by a math exam,but it is important to remember that there is a purpose to all thetrauma. There is a model of pulmonary hemodynamics I wouldlike to solve, and this class has shown me how. Hopefully, thismodel will be used to create a device that can save lives. Whileall the work and the tedious assignments are difficult, they arewhat will ultimately enable all of us engineers to create some-thing amazing. That urge to create is what drives us to becomeengineers in the first place. Perspectives on why we do it maychange from year to year, but the work is always worth it.

Seven years later, FCIEMAS has devel-oped into a foundation of learning andresearch for both Pratt and the greater sci-ence community at Duke University. Butin addition to the project laboratories,research facilities, state-of-the-art cleanrooms, and “intellectual collision spaces”,most passersby have little idea of theextensive mechanical systems and architec-tural innovations housed within the unas-suming Duke stone and brick exterior.

In this article, we will talk about howFCIEMAS as a new facility was integrat-ed into Duke’s existing campus aesthetic,reflect on the impact FCIEMAS has hadon the greater Duke community afterseven years of operation and explore itssalient features that often go unnoticed.

The exterior façade of the FCIEMASbuilding incorporates both Duke stone,the primary material of West Campus,and brick, the material used in HudsonHall. This creates a modern aesthetic,sympathetic to both historic WestCampus and the existing engineeringbuildings.

D. Bartley Guthrie, AIA, a principal

at ZGF who served as principal-in-charge for the FCIEMAS projectexplained that, “unlike the monochro-matic red brick used in Hudson Hall,the brick used in the FCIEMAS buildingis a complex palette of different colorsthat is meant to be complementary tothe native or indigenous stone that was

quarried in the Duke Forest.”This ‘Duke brick’ blend was devel-

oped after an intense analysis of thecolor palette present in Duke stone.Originally developed by the UniversityArchitect John Pearce, Duke ExecutiveVice President Tallman Trask III, andarchitect César Pelli for another campusproject, the architects at ZGF mademinor alterations to the mix for theFCIEMAS façade. In addition to materi-al similarity, the FCIEMAS buildingstructure mimics gothic West Campuswith tower elements at each corner.

“The inclusion of tower elementsmarking the corners of the buildingblocks is derivative of the [campus] coreand careful attention was paid to makethe tower elements Duke tower ele-ments,” Guthrie said.

Furthermore, Guthrie described that

The architects at Zimmer Gunsul Frasca (ZGF) in Washington, D.C.were faced with a complex task when they were hired to design abuilding to represent the future of Duke’s engineering program.

Their goal was to create a building that would not only serve as a centerfor advanced technological development, but also as a collaborativespace for the engineering and scientific community at Duke. In Augustof 2004, when the Fitzpatrick Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering,Medicine, and Applied Science (FCIEMAS) was first unveiled it washailed as an environment that would serve as a melting pot for scien-tists and students of different backgrounds to collide and collaborate.

the main challenge in the developmentof the conceptual design for FCIEMASwas, “to build the project in such a waythat it creates a bridge between the his-toric core of campus, and what was con-sidered the engineering and researchdomain of campus.”

This design goal is clearly realized inthe finished structure; en-route to theengineering quadrangle from historicWest Campus, pedestrians now descenddown the steps and pass under thebridges connecting the east and westcomplexes of the FCIEMAS facility.These two bridges are actually “smartbridges.” They house an optical fiber sen-sor system that can detect microscaledimensional changes in the buildingstructure, including information onstress, strain, and temperature. Fifteenseparate optical fiber sensors make up theoptical fiber sensor array. Spaced about ameter apart from one another, the sensorsare capable of detecting changes on theorder of 1/10,000th percent. A displaymonitor on the third floor bridge allowspasserby to view the effects of wind, tem-

perature, and pedestrians. The bridgesare not the only place where optical fiberarrays are installed. One can also findthem running underneath the main hall-way floor, where sensors under certainmarked tiles feed information to the con-trol room, which then wirelessly controlsa video camera. Using the informationfrom the optical sensors, a smart camerashifts and focuses to remain gazed on themoving pedestrian.

In addition to the aesthetic and aca-demic integration, FCIEMAS completelytransformed the social landscape of theengineering and research section of cam-pus. Prior to the construction ofFCIEMAS, Teer and Hudson Hall stoodalone on Science Drive, which connectedall the way through to Research Drive.Eliminating the road in front of HudsonHall and terminating it in a roundabout

in front of the physics building led to thecreation of a communal outdoor space forthe Pratt School of Engineering. Thiscommunal space is now known as ‘e-quad’ and is host to many student eventsthroughout the year.

Chris Brasier, AIA, director of thearchitectural engineering certificate pro-gram stressed the importance of outdoorspaces to a college campus. He said, “onmost college campuses the outdoor

space, in terms of the social life on cam-pus, is the ‘connective tissue’ that bringsthe buildings together and gives themsome sort of common identity.” Thisconcept was instrumental in uniting thestylistically different buildings thathouse most of the Pratt School ofEngineering on the e-quad.

Apart from the outdoor communalspace, the FCIEMAS building contains

many unique architectural spaces andfeatures, many of which are intended toprovide space for students and faculty tointeract. The centerpiece, and most fre-quented space of the FCIEMAS building,is the three-story atrium. Guthrie andhis team chose to direct focus to the atri-um because he believes that space is rep-resentative of the goals of the building:“to contribute to student faculty interac-tion in a positive way, not only for themto work, but to meet and share ideas.”

With its iconic suspended staircases,abundance of natural light, and variedinterior material palette, the atrium hasbecome a popular space for Pratt to holdlarge events. Hilary Cavanaugh, CEE’12and architectural engineering certificatestudent, frequently studies in the atriumof the FCIEMAS building. Some of theattraction of spending time in the atri-um, she noted, is the interesting architec-ture. “I like the natural light, the open-ness, and the mix of materials,” Hilarysaid. “For example, the second floor isslate, and the upstairs floor is wood.”

Some of the other unique interiorinteractive spaces include Twinnie’sCafé, and the beautiful Mumma facultycommons. Even the bathrooms inFCIEMAS reflect the sense of collabora-tion between engineering and sciences.The tiles in the women’s restrooms arepatterned in the shape of the BRCA1, abreast cancer type 1 susceptibility pro-tein that is associated with tumor sup-pression and cancer. The bone morpho-genetic protein (BMP1), a protein thatinduces bone and cartilage development,graces the tiles of the men’s restrooms.

The optical fiber sensors on the smartbridge and protein tiles in the bathroomare just two examples of the way thearchitects’ integrated work from theFCIEMAS departments into the archi-tecture of the building itself. Anotherexample is the etched flit designs drawnon the Fitzpatrick windows.

life sciences. The twowinning submissionswere Leonardo DaVinci’s “Spectra” andAdrian Bejan’s“Constructal Tree.”Bejan is a mechanicalengineering professorat Duke and the pio-neer of a field calledconstructal theory.According to thistheory, all systems, bothbiological and inanimate,evolve in a way that increas-es access to flow.

Bejan described the flowof the students and facultyof the Fitzpatrick center. “Ithink the design works. It isabout geometry… a draw-ing on a map… it’s aboutwhat you see from abovewhich is the space in whichall of us flow, in which webounce off ideas.”

In explaining the con-structal tree and its rele-vance to the FitzpatrickCenter goals, Bejan said that“the tree is a facsimile of thehuman design in the sameway that the wrench is a fac-simile of the human hand.”He referred to a picturehanging on his office doortaken by Sylvie Lorente,coauthor of his book on con-structal theory and Prattadjunct professor. The pic-ture shows the constructaltree on a Fitzpatrick win-dow, the branches of a natu-ral tree visible in the reflec-tion. “There is a double meaning here…the constructal tree and the real one, thesuperposition of the drawing and thenatural tree,” Bejan said. “These ideasare inscribed into the building throughwhich we flow during our life as profes-sors and students. This kind of stuff isvery good for the soul of the institution.

There are plenty of ideas being createdhere. Duke University has a presenceand a signature in the world of ideas.”

In addition to the etched flit windowdesigns and other integrative features,FCIEMAS has several unique lab spaceslike the Duke Immersive VirtualEnvironment (DiVE) and the Shared

MaterialInstrumentationFacility (SMiF).Then-Pratt DeanChristina Johnsonhired Rachael Brady,who was a researchprogrammer for thefirst Cave AutomatedVirtual Environment(CAVE) at theUniversity of Illinois,

to develop a similar system inthe newest engineering build-ing at Duke. Brady heads thePratt Visualization TechnologyGroup, which designed, built,and runs the DiVE.

The DiVE received fundingfrom the National ScienceFoundation (NSF) and wentonline in 2005. It consists of asix 3-meter square panels,including the floor and ceil-ing. David Bullock, the gener-al contractor for the DiVE,chose screens for the side pan-els, but Plexiglas for the floorand ceiling for added durabili-ty. The ceiling panel is sup-ported from the roof of theroom that encloses the DiVEso that the side panels can bereplaced easily. These panelsare rear-projected with high-resolution stereographicimages, much in the same waya movie projector casts imageson a screen. Additionally, theDiVE is equipped with headand hand tracking software, amore accurate and advancedversion of the technologywidely available in Nintendo’s

plinary full immersion technology andthe first installation of a six-sided CAVEsystem. The DiVE represents a uniqueopportunity to interact with three-dimen-sional data in an active way, Brady said.Not only is the virtual reality visible to

the observer on all sides, but the specialstereo glasses also provide depth to theflat images. To further engage activeinteractions with the virtual environ-ment, a motion-sensing “wand” can beused to control navigation and move-ment of objects, which is then projectedin real time. These features have attract-ed attention from around the Dukeresearch community, leading to manyinterdisciplinary projects utilizing theDiVE from Pratt, Trinity College of Artsand Sciences, and even Duke UniversityHospital.

One department that has utilized theDiVE for cutting-edge research has beenDuke’s Center for CognitiveNeuroscience. One exciting paper pub-lished in the Journal of CognitiveNeuroscience by Kevin LaBar explored theconcepts of fear and fear retention.LaBar’s experiments took place in theDiVE to understand how humans extin-guish fear and anxiety with the help ofcontextual location tools.

The DiVE is also home to a myriad ofstudent-led projects and instructionaltools. Civil engineering students can uti-lize the virtual reality technology to“tour” structures they have modeled inone of their design courses; doing soallows these students to tweak theirdesigns after experiencing their work ina way that would otherwise be impossi-ble with small, physical models. Also,the DiVE is equipped with software thatcan present a model of the human brain,which is implemented in neurobiologyand medical school courses. EvenDivinity School students can gain travelthrough time and space to experience a

computer model of Solomon’s Templeright here in Durham.

Currently, programmers are workingto update the DiVE to accept MATLABcommands, meaning that Duke students

can physically experience the graphicaloutputs of their code in this commoncoding language. Also, the FitzpatrickInstitute for Photonics, a departmenthoused in FCIEMAS, has recently

accepted its first postdoctoral candidatewhose work will focus on using theDiVE to study display fidelity and inter-action fidelity in the context of a fullyimmersed environment.

2012 dukengineer 27

With advances in the realm of virtualreality also comes the need to promotethe DiVE as a medium for more studies,both in and out of Pratt. Students fromevery department at Duke are encour-aged to apply to use the DiVE for theirprojects. Those interested in learningmore about Duke’s innovative virtualreality and visualization research andexperiencing this technology firsthandare encouraged to visit vis.duke.edu or

attend one of the weekly open houses onThursdays at 4:30 pm.

In addition to these unique lab spaces,the Fitzpatrick Center was also one ofthe first buildings on Duke’s campus toachieve LEED (Leadership in Energy andEnvironmental Design) certification,awarded by the United States GreenBuilding Council. Isabelle Arnold,LEED AP BD+C, is an associate at ZGFand served as the LEED coordinator on

the project. While designed with sus-tainability in mind, Arnold explained,“We did not start the project thinkingwe were going to pursue LEED; LEEDwas a very young system at the time.”The decision was made to pursue LEEDCertification later in the design process.However, Arnold noted that there werevery few changes to the design itselfonce the goal of LEED Certification wassolidified stating “the pieces were inplace.”

To achieve its LEED silver certifica-tion, a variety of environmental featureswere implemented. The FitzpatrickCenter earned points in five major LEEDcategories: site selection, water efficiency,energy and atmosphere, indoor environ-mental quality, and materials andresources. The most innovative environ-mental measure implemented, Arnoldsaid, is the economic organization of thebuilding program. Laboratory spaceswith unique air quality or water needswere ‘blocked’ together, significantlyreducing energy consumption. Similarly,offices were placed all along the perime-ter of the building to receive as muchdaylight as possible.

Guthrie said that the final product,“[FCIEMAS] is really a unique assem-blage of different types of program andhopefully it’s creating a really excitingmix of research and student life.”

When Bejan was asked if he believedthat the Fitzpatrick Center had success-fully accomplished its goal of creating aninteractive collision and interaction spacebetween intellectuals of different disci-plines, Bejan offered a guarded yes, butstressed that a great idea transcends bor-ders. “I think that people work together,as creators of ideas, because they areattracted to the idea,” he explained.“Collaboration is lot like a lightningbolt from the cloud to the churchsteeple. Completely unknown before ithappens, but striking when it does, andmemorable when there is impact on theground.”

focus on advancing the current knowledge in the field of “soft matter” research. Ateam of 20 faculty members from across these four schools has assembled in an effortto develop intricate new types of soft matter that exhibit unique functional properties.

Leading this team of MRSEC investigators is Gabriel Lopez, Ph.D., Pratt professor ofbiomedical engineering and mechanical engineering and materials science. Lopezreceived his Ph.D. from the University of Washington by developing a method forchanging the surface properties of different materials by coating them with ultrathin

polymer layers. He continued his research as a postdoc-toral fellow at Harvard University, where he studiedhow to control cell growth using micropatterns in sur-face chemistry of culture substrates. Lopez came toDuke in January 2010 after establishing a biomedicalengineering program at the University of New Mexico.

At Duke, Lopez has been focused on conductingresearch in the area of soft matter. “Soft matter,” Lopezsaid “is basically a designation for a class of condensedmatter that is based on the energy required to deform it.If the matter in question deforms easily at ambient con-ditions, then it is considered soft matter.”

Some basic examples of soft matter include rubber,polymers, gels, liquid crystals, and suspensions of fineparticles, many of which we use every day in the formof tires, plastic containers, cosmetic supplies, deter-gents, and foods. However, it has also become apparentthat scientists can take advantage of many more of theunique properties of soft matter. Lopez believes that “a

Cutting Edge Soft MatterA look into the field of soft materials research

frontier with regard to these materials ishow we can take advantage of the factthat it is possible to design them toundergo programmed deformation ontheir own.”

For example, Lopez seeks to capitalizeon the fact that many of these materialsare responsive to small environmentalchanges.

Recently, Lopez and his research teampublished a paper concerning the cre-ation of a soft material coating that isable to change its structure with regardto slight fluctuations in tempera-ture. The premise of his work,which was funded by the Office ofNaval Research, was to develop atype of coating that would be ableto prevent bacteria from stickingto solid surfaces, an importantgoal with implications in manynaval operations. When bacteriabegan to grow on these surfaces,slight variations in temperaturewould cause the coating to changeits chemical structure, and in turnthe bacteria would no longer beable to cling onto that surface.This method was shown to be veryeffective for the removal of bacte-ria from solid surfaces.

In collaboration with Xuanhe

Zhao, assistant professor of mechanicalengineering and materials science, thegroup is now working on developing anew type of soft material coating thatcan change their surface properties inresponse to the applied voltage, insteadof a change in temperature. Current test-ing is taking place at the Duke MarineLab, where the team is hoping thatapplying electric fields to their softmaterial will be able to eliminatecolonies of bacteria as well as settlementsof larger organisms such as barnacles.

In another research initiative underthe MRSEC umbrella, members of theLopez group are synthesizing newmicroparticles from different polymericmaterials. These particles are known ascolloids when they are suspended in liq-uids and like other colloidal suspensions(including milk) they exhibit a milkyappearance because of the way they scat-ter room light. The group is studyinghow these new materials respond to theapplication of acoustic fields with an eyetoward developing new particulate

materials for drug delivery,ultrasound imaging, medicaldiagnostic tests and three-dimensional colloidal assemblies.

Continued research will onlyprovide more insight and moreknowledge about the propertiesand applications of soft materials,and scientists are only beginningto discover the benefits and usesthat the wondrous world of softmatter can provide. The efforts ofLopez and the MRSEC show thatinquiries into the field of softmatter are able to produce hard,tangible results.

ingchong You, Ph.D., joined Duke Universitysix years ago as a jointly-appointed assistant professor inthe Department of Biomedical Engineering and Institutefor Genome Sciences and Policy, launching his lab insynthetic biology research. Synthetic biology is a rela-tively new field that combines elements from biologyand engineering to design and construct new biologicalsystems that carry out a desired function. You’s groupengineers gene regulatory networks and uses such syn-thetic systems as tools to quantitatively analyze dynamicproperties of cellular networks.

Synthetic biology began as a field largely focused onemploying the tools of genetic engineering to reconfiguremetabolic pathways of cells to perform new functions, suchas the production of therapeutic compounds or the micro-bial breakdown of toxins. Synthetic biologists use recombi-nant DNA technology to piece together gene networks thatproduce proteins of interest or confer a desired function, inthe same way that electrical engineers use resistors andcapacitors to piece together electrical circuits to generatedesired outputs.

Over the last ten years, synthetic biology has expandedits reach to encompass the use of engineered gene circuits toanalyze questions in biology. In line with this notion, theYou group employs the approach of synthetic biology, cou-pled with mathematical modeling, to engineer bacterialpopulation dynamics, quantify interactions in cellular net-works, and address unresolved questions in biology.

Researchers in the You group have successfully constructeda synthetic predator-prey ecosystem consisting of two bacteri-al populations. The predator population kills the prey bycausing production of a killer protein in the prey, while theprey population rescues the predators by inducing the pro-duction of an antidote protein in the predator.

Along these same lines, researchers in the You lab have

also engineered bacterial populationsthat exhibit other ecological characteris-tics, including altruistic death, whereinthe death of some individuals aids in theoverall survival of the population, andthe Allee effect wherein a populationcannot survive below a critical popula-tion density. These engineered ecosys-tems enable the study of populationdynamics, within such contexts as

antibiotic resistance and species invasion,under a level of control that is not possi-ble in natural ecosystems.

In addition to engineering syntheticgene circuits, the You group developsmathematical models that function as asimplified lens through which one cancharacterize biological networks. Suchmodels, coupled with experimental vali-dation, are used extensively in the Youlab to analyze a number of cellular net-works, including the aforementionedsynthetic ecosystems, as well as networksthat govern cell cycle entry and self-organized pattern formation. The grouphas used such an approach to elucidate amode of gene regulation of potentialimportance in mitigating abnormal cellgrowth. They have found that expressionof E2F, a protein family that controlsgenes essential for cell cycle entry, ishighest under normal levels of growthfactors but decreases in the presence ofhigher levels of growth factors (a charac-teristic of tumor cells), pointing to apotential mechanism that may play arole in modulating the development ofcancer.

In addition, other members of the Youlab apply modeling towards studying asynthetic circuit that programs self-induced pattern formation as a potentialmeans of understanding similar processesin nature, such as limb bud outgrowthand tissue stratification.

Through their work in engineeringand analyzing synthetic gene circuits,researchers in the You lab have alsostumbled upon phenomena that chal-lenge common notions and assumptionsin synthetic biology. In designing sys-tems, synthetic biologists generally

assume a simple well-defined interfacebetween the gene circuit and the hostorganism. The You group, however, hasrevealed that underlying and frequentlyoverlooked parameters within the engi-neered system, such as the physicalamount of the genes in the circuit(termed copy number) and how theengineered gene circuits affect growth ofthe host organism, can fundamentallychange the predicted output of the sys-tem. Such findings have vast implica-tions for the field of synthetic biology, asthey highlight the importance of under-standing how “hidden interactions”affect the behavior of the engineeredgene networks.

A central theme of the You lab ismaking use of synthetic biological sys-tems as analogs of natural systems inorder to address biological questions andbetter understand the dynamics of cellu-lar networks.

Ongoing projects could lead to newways of fabricating materials, diagnosingand treating cancers, and fighting bacte-rial infections. In addition to such prac-tical applications, You envisions synthet-ic biology “likely transforming howfuture students learn biology.”

It is not too far-fetched to conceive ofstudents in an introductory biologycourse fiddling with gene circuits to bet-ter understand cells in the same way thatstudents in an introductory physicscourse fool around with resistors andcapacitors to better understand electron-ics, You said. On an even grander scale,bioengineers like to think of a worldwhere organisms are designed to mass-produce therapeutic compounds, materi-als, and biofuels, making such productspotentially cheaper and more accessible.

Fluid CloakingW

hen most people hear the word cloaking, theythink of Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak. Real-world cloaking, however, is defined as hidingan object from a detector or a probe. The ideaof fluid cloaking was first conceived last year

by Research Professor Yaroslav Urzhumov and David Smith, theWilliam Bejan Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering.A fluid cloak hides an object from a flowing fluid, allowing it toflow as if that object didn’t exist. Reversing the perspective, theobject can move without disturbing the fluid.

An object moving through a fluid normallyinteracts with it in two different ways. First,there is a drag force, which is essentially fric-tion in fluids. Second, the object physicallypushes the fluid as it moves, leaving a void

which the fluid rushes into. Fluid cloaking eliminates theseinteractions. A submarine that can move without any dragessentially shoots through the water like a rocket in free space,potentially saving energy and also eliminating wake. Withoutany wake, a submarine can roam completely undetected.

Cloaking works by taking advantage of artificially engineeredstructures called metamaterials. The metamaterials act like aporous mesh case that can alter the flow of fluid.

“In layman terms, the structure sucks in the water in frontof it, reroutes the water around it, andejects the water at carefully engineeredpositions,” Urzhumov explains. The fluidmust be accelerated at key areas so that themomentum and pressure of the fluid willbe preserved as it passes through the cloak.

Urzhumov continues, “Becausethe streamlines have the samevelocity in magnitude and direc-tion, it’s as if nothing really hap-pened.”

The idea is similar in theory toother forms of cloaking such aselectromagnetic and acousticcloaking. However, cloaking ofthe fluid flow is revolutionary incertain aspects. In the other formsof cloaking, handling wavescomes with innate limitations.

“The need for wave velocitiesof particles inside that exceedthe wave velocity outside iswhat limits the operation ofoptical and electromagneticcloaks to only certain wave-lengths. It is not possible tocover the entire spectrumbecause that would violatecausality,” Urzhumov says.

In addition, optical cloakingmetamaterials are typically reso-nant at selected frequencies,which leads to unwanted attenu-ation. Fluid cloaking has noth-ing to do with waves, resonancesor frequencies; therefore it oper-ates with any fluid and anystructural composition of themetamaterial. On the otherhand, fluid flow cloakingrequires physically moving atangible substance. This factorleads to various complications concerning pressure drop, whichcan be compensated using micropump arrays. These microp-umps must use energy; therefore, the question of whether suchcloaks will be energy efficient remains unclear.

The properties of cloaks comes from both the metamaterialcomposition and structure. In the case of fluid cloaking, the com-position is virtually irrelevant, and only the structure of the meta-material unit cell matters. The challenge comes from designing astructure that has anisotropic permeability with a gradient. Ananisotropically permeable, graded structure would allow the cloakto work regardless of the fluid’s direction. A gradient is necessarybecause some fluid molecules must travel longer distances thanthe others, which forces acceleration to vary throughout the struc-ture. Currently, there is no rigorous mathematical theory for fluid

research

cloaking, so the research focuseson computer simulation andoptimization.

Urzhumov says, “The way Isee this, the simplest structurewould be a unit cell containingmetal blades oriented perpendi-cular to each other so that youcan independently control thepermeability in all three direc-tions.” By rotating a blade to acertain angle with a flow direc-tion, the fluid is allowed to floweasily in that direction. This willallow the structure to beanisotropically permeable.Urzhumov adds, “Then, differentthickness of the blades wouldallow different permeabilitymagnitudes and create the neces-sary gradient… Micropumpswill be added to ensure pressureloss compensation.”

Conceived earlier this year,this innovative technology hasalready attracted a lot of atten-tion from the experts. “I don’tknow if I can see this approachscaled up for large ships, butrealistically I can see this tech-nology for highly maneuver-able, stealthy unmanned sub-marines,” Urzhumov says.

The defense organizationscould theoretically use thistechnology to let eavesdropping

devices roam free in the territorial waters of any country. Also,marine experts can use fluid cloaking to observe underwater lifewithout disturbing it.

Urzhumov optimistically predicts, “This technology can beapplied to small enough objects of any shape and kind. Seeingthese micropumps as distributed propulsion systems, one canalso envision aircrafts, ships and submarines doing arbitrarymaneuvers in water, almost like UFOs in sci-fi movies. Unlikeconventional aircrafts and ships, they do not have to rely onexternal streams of fluid. Such systems create the desired flowthemselves.”

In 2000, a university strategic planningcommittee, which was a collection of topadministrators working to create initia-tives for the university’s future, formedthe “Materials Working Group” to helpcatalyze nanostructured and bio-inspiredmaterials and device research. The grouprealized that there was a lack of equip-ment necessary to perform high-levelresearch for the fabrication and characteri-zation of materials, devices, and nanos-tructures. Their solution to the problemwas the creation of SMIF, Duke’s resourcefor advanced characterization and clean-room fabrication, which is available to

undergraduates, graduate students, facul-ty, and non-university researchers alike.

By 2002, SMIF obtained X-ray diffrac-tion and atomic force microscopy capabil-ities, originally located in the basement ofthe Levine Science Research Center. Ayear later, a scanning electron microscopein the physics building and a small clean-room in Hudson Hall were added to theSMIF arsenal. However, it was not until2007 that SMIF moved into the 12,000square foot facility where it currentlyoperates. SMIF now has more than 65instruments serving the needs of morethan 500 users across the Pratt School of

Engineering, Trinity School of Arts &Sciences, the School of Medicine, neigh-boring universities, and companies acrossthe Research Triangle Park.

With the constant bustle in SMIF fromits many users and projects, safety hasalways been an important consideration.SMIF director Mark Walters, Ph.D. explains,“The safety of students and researchersusing our facility is our top priority, whichis evidenced by the safety training andsafety systems in the facility.”

For instance, the toxic gas monitoringsystem in SMIF is a $1 million state-of-the-art system that can detect the type,amount, and location of any gas leak orchemical spill and immediately notifySMIF staff by wireless communication toany locality. There have been no incidentsof injury since SMIF first opened.

SMIF now not only offers its capabili-ties as a research facility, but also as aneducational tool. The staff allows profes-sors to illustrate concepts from class at nocharge. Further, several funding agencies,such as the LORD Foundation and theDonald M. Alstadt Fund, have enabled

The culture of research at the Pratt School of Engineeringserves as a model to many research institutions andindustries across the globe. The high level of innova-tion, productivity, and advancement reflects a vibrantcommunity of students, faculty and researchers across

a range of disciplines in science and engineering. However, pioneer-ing research requires access to the most advanced equipment.That’s where the idea for the Shared Materials InstrumentationFacility (SMIF) began.

undergraduates to use the equipment forresearch projects by covering the hourlyaccess fees typically billed to its users foroperational costs. Headlining this idea isthe SMIF Undergraduate User Program,or SUUP, which encourages undergradu-ate research and innovation by supplyingstudents up to $500 a month. There arecurrently 23 undergraduates participatingin this program.

There are many reasons why SMIFstands out among other noteworthyshared facilities. SMIF owns the only elec-tron beam lithography system in NorthCarolina, which is capable of producingstructures at the nanoscale. It also has a$1 million dollar transmission electronmicroscope capable of cryogenic sampleimaging and 3-D tomography. The SMIFcleanroom, which was the first such facili-

ty in the nation to use a “Bio Bay” for theintegration of biological materials,enabling the creation of novel sensors andbiomedical devices.

However, since the user fees of thefacility only cover operational costs, theSMIF relies on external funding for newequipment and capabilities. Currently, thestaff is looking into purchasing atomiclayer deposition and dip pen lithographyinstruments for the cleanroom andfocused ion beam and thermogravimetricanalyzer instruments for characterizationpurposes. Together this equipment carriesa heavy price tag of well over $1 million.

Hired in 2002, Walters oversees manyof the projects inside the facility. Waltersworks closely with a specialized team oftalented engineers to keep the facilityoperational: Kirk Bryson, Jay Dalton,

Michelle Gignac, and Tamika Craige. TheExecutive Director of SMIF, Nan MarieJokerst, Ph.D., J.A. Jones Professor ofElectrical and Computer Engineering,along with the advisory committee, leadsthe group by keeping the facility ahead ofthe technological curve.

“The capabilities of SMIF and its staffare here to enable cutting edge researchfor the faculty and students of the PrattSchool of Engineering and beyond,”Walters said. The SMIF staff assistsresearchers by conducting training cours-es, providing technical support, and keep-ing the facility stocked with chemicalsand materials.

Producing a car that cango from 0-60 MPH inunder four seconds isoften the purview ofhigh-power sports car

manufacturers, but every year, a team ofdedicated Pratt undergraduate and gradu-ate students conceives, designs and fabri-cates a high-performance race car capableof achieving those results.

The Duke Motorsports Team enters theannual Formula SAE competition organ-ized by SAE International (formerly theSociety for Automotive Engineers), aninternational competition that challengesuniversity students to design and con-struct a formula race car, competing withfellow students in a variety of categories.

The competition is styled as if a manu-facturing firm had requested the teams toproduce a prototype car for evaluation forviability as a production car, with the aimof producing a car that excels as a pack-age, not merely in speed. The competi-tion pits the cars against each other intests of economy, endurance, acceleration,autocross, and in skid-pad time trials.Furthermore, each team must presenttheir car to a panel of judges from theautomotive industry in three areas: designchoices, cost report, and a business pres-entation.

The Duke team competes regularly in afield of 120 international teams at theFSAE event organized at the Michigan

International Speedway, the larger of thetwo North American events, with otherevents occurring around the world incountries such as Germany, the UnitedKingdom, and Australia. Sponsored bysome of the most renowned companies inthe automotive industry, the competitionawards prizes for excellence in both thedynamic and static events, with awardsalso available for the use of environmen-tally friendly fuels and innovative designconcepts, amongst others.

The team produces a single-seat, openwheel race car, custom producing almostall of the components, including the car’sframe and safety mechanisms, whilstheavily modifying other, procured parts inorder to maximize the car’s performance.The manufacturing process occursthroughout the academic year, with sub-teams developing components to beassembled and integrated together for ini-tial testing in March. The car itself boastsan impressive array of capabilities, weigh-

ing just under 500 pounds, with thecapacity to go from 0-60 MPH in underfour seconds.

Production costs for the car are estimat-ed at approximately $13,000, if manufac-tured on a large scale, but the team’s pro-totype costs around $30,000 to produce.“Finances are always a challenge,” saidchief engineer Juan Pablo Garcia, “but weare thankful for the support of theEngineering Student Government, theEngineering Alumni Council and our cor-porate sponsors.”

This year, the team is focusing ondeveloping a more comprehensive aerody-namics package for the car, with the aimof breaking into the top 10 at Michiganin 2012. Historically, the team’s highestposition in the competition has been 11th

overall, but with a strong showing fromthe freshman class, boosting team num-bers this year, Garcia is hopeful that theteam can achieve a higher finish.

The team itself is comprised of a dedi-

cated core of approximately 20 students,who work on the car throughout theweek, often into the early hours in orderto meet strict deadlines. The developmentprocess is extensive, with every stage ofthe development process requiring signif-icant time and effort.

“The team really allows you to focus onwhat you’re interests are,” Garcia said,“You get an exposure to everything, butyou can work on what you love”.

Working on the car provides teammembers with extensive practical engi-

neering skills, with many agreeing thatthey learn concepts and skills well aheadof their fellow students. Many studentsprogress from the Motorsports team tograduate positions in the automotiveindustry, building upon their practicalknowledge and expertise gained fromtheir time in the team.

The team also integrates itself into thePratt curriculum, by offering a number ofprojects for the ME160 class, the mechan-ical engineering capstone. Apart from thework and effort the team puts it in, it is

also great fun, Garcia said. “We like jok-ing around, we go out to dinner, you willsee people always having a good time,” hesaid.

Ultimately, the team has been one ofthe highlights of Garcia’s four years atDuke. “Seeing the car go and realizingyou did that…no one can ever take thataway from you. It’s like nothing you’veever seen before”.

Despite its relative youthas a Duke studentgroup, the Smart Homeprogram has consistentlybeen among the best

programs for helping students developkey leadership and entrepreneurial skills.Each year, 10 students are selected froman applicant pool as residents of TheHome Depot Smart Home on Duke’scentral campus.

In addition to the 10 residents, theprogram has also become a “home” formany other students who do not live atthe research dorm, but are still activewith one or more project teams. Thesmart home program provides manyresources for all of these students to workcollaboratively on a variety of uniqueprojects, which provide valuable hands-on research and teamwork experience.

Many students are drawn to the smarthome due to the simple fact that projectpossibilities are limited only by theirown creativity. Some choose to focus onimplementing new or improved tech-nologies at The Home Depot SmartHome, while others benefit the greaterDuke community. Some projects promotethe goal of environmental sustainability,and others improve convenience and effi-ciency of daily activities.

One project, for example, aims to tack-le water waste at the smart home. Thetechnology involves measuring and dis-playing both the rate of water use andthe total amount used at each sink overtime. This display next to the sinkencourages conservation because once a

continuously rising number is visible, thecumulative impact of running a faucetbecomes much more tangible.Additionally, the data from these sensorsis logged over time to track trends andlook for usage patterns. While the tech-nology involved in this project is rela-tively simple, the true innovation is inthe creative application of a simple tech-nology to affect peoples’ habits.

Another project tackles a common dif-ficulty that students have in finding anavailable group study room in Perkinsand Bostock libraries, especially aroundbusy times such as final exam week. Thisproject, called PerkinSense, will changethat, preventing much frustration andwasted time. Currently, the PerkinSenseteam has been through several iterationsof their prototype of a battery powered,

Wifi-enabled motion sensor. The motiondetectors will be installed on the wall ineach room, and report their statuses to apage on the Library’s website, so openrooms can be quickly identified.

These projects represent only a smallslice of the work being done at throughthe Smart Home program, where stu-dents are encouraged to dream big withtheir ideas. Some other examples ofongoing projects are a practical methodor device for indoor composting, smart-phone control of music, lighting, andenvironmental systems, and a mailboxthat provides alerts when mail is deliv-ered. An important part of the success ofthese projects is an open and collabora-tive approach to problem solving.Project teams are often interdisciplinary,with students from both the Pratt School

of Engineering and the Trinity Collegeof Arts and Sciences. This mentalityallows for diverse perspectives and areasof expertise to be considered, whichhelps to keep the big picture in focus.The goal is never just to build gadgets,but to promote smart and sustainablelifestyles.

After gaining national recognition in2008 for introducing a novel model forstudent engagement, the Smart HomeProgram is still at the forefront of thegreen movement in education. In 2008,soon after construction of the house wascompleted, it received LEED Platinumcertification, and two awards fromAssociated Builders and Contractors.The United States Green BuildingCouncil recognized the program’s educa-tional value with a 2009 award forExcellence in Green Building Education.In 2011, the Smart Home program wasadmitted to the International GreenIndustry Hall of Fame.

In addition to these accolades, the pro-gram has benefitted from regular part-

nerships with industry. John Deere isworking with students and staff at Duketo develop a new landscaping design inaccordance with the standards of theSustainable Sites Initiative. The HomeDepot Smart Home was chosen as one ofabout 150 pilot projects to test thesenew guidelines to quantify sustainabledesign, construction, and maintenancepractices. Progress on the garden renova-tions is nearly complete. One of themain features is a sophisticated irrigationsystem, which delivers water based onpredefined schedules, as well as readingsfrom various sensors. The landscapingfeatures two new bioswales that aid inreducing runoff into the sewer system,improvements in accessibility to the gar-den area with new terracing and walk-ways, and a shed and greenhouse. Thesmart home residents and members ofDuke’s Community Garden club arelooking forward to the spring plantingseason.

Another exciting partnership theSmart Home Program has formed is

with Durham-based Cree, Inc., a leaderin LED lighting innovation. The smarthome dorm will soon be retrofit withCree’s products, and the residents of thehome can provide feedback on theirexperience so the system can be perfectedfor residential applications. At the sametime, the LED lights reduce the energyconsumption from lighting by about 60percent and last much longer than thecurrent compact fluorescent bulbs. Theinstallation at the dorm will demonstratehow simple changes can be made else-where on campus to help Duke achieveits goal of carbon neutrality by 2024.

The Smart Home Program at Dukeprovides incredible opportunities foreveryone involved. It is truly living upto its reputation as more than just adorm or house, but a live-in laboratorywhere students are free to explore andinfluence what it means to live in asmart and sustainable way.

summerstorieslove bridges. What’s not to love?Bridges create connections amongpeople and places that did notexist before, opening countlesspossibilities.

In the U.S. it is easy to takethe advantages of bridges forgranted, but in much of thedeveloping world the consistent

access to schools, work, stores, and med-ical care afforded by bridges is a luxury.A lack of viable transportation optionscan often adversely affect daily life. Onecountry in particular that struggles withthis issue is El Salvador. During the rainyseason, which lasts from June toNovember, rivers can drastically floodabove their banks by up to 15 feet. Thesesurges submerge existing paths and,more often than not, the Salvadoranshave no alternate way of crossing floodedroads and paths. This leads to absencesfrom school for the children and leavesadults unable to access their work. Inmore extreme circumstances, the ill can-not reach medical care.

Maria Gibbs, a senior civil engineeringmajor, had been traveling to El Salvadorfor several summers and quickly becameaware of this issue from the localSalvadorans with whom she worked. Shebrought the subject back to Duke, anddeveloped it into a Duke Engineers forInternational Development (DEID)bridge-building project.

We were fortunate enough to becomeacquainted with Bridges to Prosperity(B2P), a non-governmental organizationwhose mission is to eliminate the barri-ers to healthcare access, education, andeconomic opportunities caused byimpassable rivers. With the help of B2P,we were able to undertake two bridgeprojects in neighboring rural farming

communities, La Hacienda Corinto andGuadalupe. The communities are justoutside Zaragoza, which is about 15kilometers from the coast and 20 kilo-meters from San Salvador, the nation’scapital. Then, independently from B2P,we also rehabilitated a decrepit vehicu-lar culvert bridge in Guadalupe aftercompletion of the pedestrian bridges.

As a team of 10 Duke engineeringstudents, we departed for El Salvador inMay feeling prepared but not knowingentirely what to expect. On the first dayof work, I was handed a shovel and toldto dig a ditch. “What is this ditch for?”I wondered. I began to realize that I hadno idea what the bridge-building processwas like, and I started to wonder if any

of us knew what we were doing. We hadall read through the technical manualsthat B2P sent us, but everything seemedso different now that we were actuallyon the ground. We knew the basics —the suspended footbridges consisted offour cables strung over two towers onopposing sides of the river. Two cableswould act as handrail cables while theother two would be used to support the

wooden decking. Beyond that, however,the details were hazy to me.

I worried that we wouldn’t haveenough time to finish or that at somepoint during construction somethingterrible would go wrong that wouldimpede the completion of thebridges. The community members werecounting on us, though. After all, wehad promised them two bridges.

Although the work didn’t get easier,we quickly figured out what we weredoing. There are a lot of meticulous com-ponents that go into building a bridge— tedious little tasks that I never wouldhave considered. We had to apply watersealant to every piece of wood used forthe decking of the bridge. Then, we indi-

vidually measured, marked, and drilledholes in each piece where the suspenderreinforcement bars, which connect thewood to the cables of the bridge, wouldgo through. The reinforcement bars alsohad to be measured individually so wecould bend them precisely in the correctplace — otherwise they wouldn’t fitthrough the wood properly!

The process was even more stressful

Building Bridges to Form Connections

What’s DEID?Duke Engineers for International Development (DEID) is the new EWB-Duke. DEID wasformed in the spring of 2011 to provide an alternative to the national Engineers WithoutBorders (EWB-USA) project approval process. But to be clear, the EWB student chapter atDuke remains active as an element of ongoing DEID projects. DEID fills a niche for studentswho are passionate to propose and follow through with sustainable design-oriented projectsaimed at addressing some of the systemic barriers people have to improving their quality oflife. We’ve worked on projects as diverse as building a playground in Durham and construct-ing local-brick water tanks in Uganda. As DEID we now have more flexibility and are open tosupporting a wide variety of engineering student projects that embody our mission. The bestway to learn more about DEID is either by exploring our site, or by contactingmaria.gibbs@duke.edu.

because we had ordered just enough mate-rial for the bridge — one mistake couldmean not having enough metal bars tocomplete the project. Luckily for us, wedidn’t make any significant mistakes, andwe were able to complete both pedestrianbridges on time. The work didn’t endthere though — we then began the reha-bilitation of the vehicular culvert bridge.This is when we began to face significantengineering challenges. While some of ourteam had designed the bridge repairs inthe CE 185 design class during the springsemester, after arriving at the site wequickly realized that we would need tomake numerous adjustments to the designbecause of the site conditions.

We had a few main tasks in rehabilitat-ing the culvert bridge. First, we needed topour a new concrete slab and find a way toconnect it to the existing surface. Secondly,because the abutments of the bridge hadbeen undergoing erosion and threateningfailure at those points, we needed to find a

way to minimize erosion. Ourfinal engineering challenge waspreventing downstream erosionalong the culverts and down-stream face.

One by one, we tackled theseissues. To connect the bridgeaddition to the existing structure,we decided to drill 28 strategical-ly placed holes into the existingslab and then inserted some L-shaped rebar (reinforcing steelrods) secured by epoxy. Theserebar segments created a connec-tion between the existing bridgesurface and the new slab. Weused a form of bricks along theedge of the bridge to contain thenewly poured concrete. This alsoallowed us to apply epoxy alongthe exterior of the bricks to pre-vent water from seeping underthe new slab. With one compo-nent of the rehabilitation tackled,we moved on to the next task —protecting the abutments (sup-porting pillars) of the bridge.

After observing the behaviorof the river both before and aftersignificant rainfall, we found arather simple fix to protect theabutments from erosion. We

were able to improve downstream flowby simply moving rocks from the centerof the river and placing them along thebanks near the abutments. It wasn’t themost engineering-savvy solution, but itwas exactly the kind of keep-it-simplesolution that we needed. Not only hadwe prevented the water from building upon the upstream face of the bridge anderoding the connections to land, but wealso offered another layer of protection infront the abutments.

The most exciting component of thedesign for me was our solution for prevent-ing downstream erosion. During floods,water would flow in an eddy from the cul-vert, out and around to the right, and thenalong the downstream face back towardsthe culvert. This cycle had seriously con-tributed to erosion of the culverts andwalls on the downstream side of the river.We decided to place gabions (bundles ofrocks contained by a simple cage of lightermaterial) alongside the vulnerable wall.

The rocks would absorb the majority of thewater’s energy and therefore protect thewall from further damage. We experiment-ed with a few different designs, includingone with bamboo as the form. After thisfailed, we constructed four one-meter cubesof welded six-inch wire mesh that weretied together with tie wire. The wire meshproved to be much more reliable than thebamboo. We placed these gabions alongthe walls and filled them with rocks andboulders that we collected from the river.

Although we had not anticipated thatwe’d have these challenges to overcome,we were able to successfully apply ourengineering skills and create sustainablesolutions. For us, the project was, in asense, just a two-month commitment. Weentered with a plan and then accom-plished our tasks as promised. For thecommunities, however, the project willhave a long-standing impact; we recentlyreceived news that the pedestrian bridgesare being put to good use this rainy sea-son, and the vehicular bridge is holdingup well. Farmers and others who dependon vehicles to support their livelihoodshave been able to continue use of thevehicular bridge, and everyone can use thepedestrian bridges to cross during floods.

The need for bridges — even domesti-cally — is something that people oftenoverlook. According to Transportation forAmerica, “a total of 69,223 bridges —11.5 percent of total highway bridges inthe U.S. — are classified as ‘structurallydeficient,’ requiring significant mainte-nance, rehabilitation or replacement.” Ifthe U.S., considered a fully developedcountry, has this high of a percentage ofdilapidated bridges, one can only imaginehow severe bridge issues are in rural com-munities like the ones in El Salvador.

For the summer of 2012, DEID has twomore bridge projects: one in the sameregion of El Salvador and another in collab-oration with B2P in Bolivia. While theneed for footbridges far exceeds our abilityto build them, we’re doing all we can tocounter the bridge neglect in these com-munities. Bridge by bridge, we’re hopingto positively impact their lives, furtheringpersonal connections with physical bridges

Who are the Pratt Fellows?They are undergraduate engineering stu-dents who have shown an interest inundergraduate research. They are dedi-cated to expanding the body of knowl-edge about a specific topic within theirmajor. Pratt Fellows come highly recom-mended by their professors. They are,quite frankly, some of the best andbrightest that Pratt has to offer. Notonly are they conducting research thatwill benefit the whole of society, they arepersonally invested, independently moti-vated and always inquisitive.

Get With the ProgramStudents interested in conductingresearch as a Pratt Fellow submit applica-tions in the fall of Junior year. Each year,professors from each department releasean extensive list of potential research proj-ects for which they are accepting assis-tance from undergraduate researchers.Applicants to the fellowship programselect and rank projects from their majoraccording to their interest in the subjectmatter. Research topics include cancer

detection technology, sustainable wateruse, using smartphones, augmenting theautomobile experience, analyzing targeteddrug and gene delivery and single cells inmicrofluidic systems.

Upon being selected and matched witha project and advisor, Pratt Fellows arecharged with completing three coursecredits and one summer of research.Although the research projects are inde-pendent, collaboration with advisors, professors and other scholars is integral to the success of the program. Amy Allen,a senior Pratt Fellow in the Civil andEnvironmental Engineering departmentsaid “Pratt Fellows offers students theability to dive into a subject matterdeeply and guide the path of the project,while at the same time getting adviceand help from a professor who has anestablished background in the subject.”

It is not uncommon for fellows to col-laborate with researchers around theworld. Katrina Wisdom, a Pratt Fellow inthe Mechanical Engineering and MaterialScience, is working alongside researchersin Australia. She discusses with her advi-

sor “what kinds of information andknowledge we seek, and what hypothesesto test. She comes up with the experi-ments (with the help of her advisor andgraduate students) that will be used toaccomplish these goals and contribute tothe collaboration.”

Featured ProjectsWisdom echoes the thoughts of manyother Pratt Fellows when she noted,“Duke is a renowned research university.I wanted to get the chance to takeadvantage of the research resources here and contribute to the academiccommunity.”

There is no doubt that Pratt Fellowsare doing just that. Katrina is develop-ing a self-sustained condenser. Sheexplained, “Condenser operation isreliant on the efficient removal of fluidfrom the condenser surface. It has beenshown that fluid removal, or de-wetting,can occur in a way that is automatic,continuous, and independent of gravityon especially rough, water-repellent sur-faces.” The development of water-repel-lent surfaces, like those that already existin nature, is a matter at the forefront ofmaterial science today.

As a junior Civil and EnvironmentalEngineer, Allen began to notice howimpressive long-term research positionslook to potential employers. Unfortunately,she was also aware of the limited avail-ability of research opportunities forundergraduate students. Thus, sheapplied for the fellowship programbecause it gives fellows the opportunity“to receive individual instruction from aprofessor in their field, as well as theopportunity to contribute to an unex-

Pratt Fellows:Expanding the Scope of Undergraduate Research

In accordance with its commitment to providing undergraduate engi-neers with all of the resources for future success, the Pratt School ofEngineering developed the Pratt Engineering Undergraduate FellowsProgram in 1999. Currently in its 12th year, the Pratt Fellows Programcontinues to provide Duke undergraduates with opportunities to con-duct meaningful, relevant research in their chosen field. Each year, agroup of junior engineering students are chosen to collaborate withPratt professors on a variety of research projects, spanning all fourmajors.

plored area of their field.”As a Pratt Fellow, Allen is working to

develop a characterization of a floatingwind turbine. Offshore wind turbines aremore effective when located at greaterdepths, in regions with higher windspeeds. However, the cost associatedwith anchoring a wind turbine in deepwater often outweighs the benefits ofalternative energy that the turbine pro-duces. Allen’s research is aimed toward

developing a mathematical model thatcharacterizes the floating motion of aplatform upon which a wind turbine canbe placed. In light of new energy tech-nology, Allen’s research is filling a seem-ingly obvious gap in the existing body ofknowledge.

Morgan McLeod applied to the PrattFellows program because she would havethe opportunity to work on a projectthat not only contributes to the scientificcommunity, but may one day benefit herpersonally. You see, McLeod is at risk fordeveloping osteoarthritis later in life; so,rather than sitting back, she is delving

into the causes and progression of thedisease.

“My project examines depth-depend-ent anisotropy in porcine articular carti-lage using Atomic Force Microscopy(AFM),” she said. “The composition andstructure of cartilage varies with depthand leads to a unique loading pattern.By studying the tissue using atomicforce microscopy, we are better able toapproximate the loads experienced by

chondrocytes (cartilage cells) at differentdepths. This research can potentially beuseful in assessing the changes inmechanical properties throughout theprogression of arthritis.”

… And That’s Just theBeginningFormer Pratt Fellows agree that theirexperiences were some of the most valu-able in their college career. Many fellowshave pursued graduate school and medicalschool after graduation, and many holdprestigious positions in industry.Additionally, fellows have earned a multi-

tude of prestigious honors includingFulbright, Marshall, Churchill andRhodes Scholarships, National ScienceFoundation and Whitaker Fellowships,and university recognition and honors,including graduation with distinction.

Wisdom explained the benefits of con-ducting research as an undergraduate:“Doing research can teach you how to bean engineer in a way that classes can’t. Itteaches you to take a situation, to be cre-ative, to make it work, to use patienceand strategy to debug it when it doesn’twork, to synthesize what happens intomeaningful, easily understandable results,and to present your work so that it canhave maximum impact. This is an impor-tant set of skills that can serve a personwell in nearly any field.”

The success of the Pratt FellowsProgram speaks to Pratt’s commitmentto tailor the undergraduate experience tothe demands of an ever-changing field,and ensure that each student has theresources necessary to make the most oftheir time on the E-quad.

As engineering students, we have allbeen there (except maybe not the skirtand high heels). Every year we go tocareer fairs in the hope of getting a sum-mer internship to acquire new experi-ences and skills that our classes cannotoffer. We stand in line, hand outresumes, and recite perfected five-minutespiels about how we are right for thejob. We answer nerve-racking questionsin tiny interview rooms and then wait(eternally) for callbacks. We bring ourA-game in hopes of landingthat perfect job or intern-ship that will open doors toa new world of challengesand possibilities to ulti-mately guide us down thebest path for our professionalcareers.

It was the summer of2008 when I was on my lastinternship hunt. I was ajunior in the department ofmaterials science of engi-neering at the University ofFlorida (UF). After a gruel-

ing process of interviews, I was offeredan internship position at RTI Biologics,Inc. in Alachua, FL. I had toured thecompany, located a mere 10 miles fromUF’s main campus, once before duringthe summer of my freshman year. Eversince, I had been fascinated by theirtechnology and facilities.

RTI Biologics specializes in recoveringand processing cadaveric tissue to fabri-cate devices for bone, cartilage, skin,heart valve, and tendon repair. Typically,

after initial screening, cadavertissue is subjected to thepatented BioCleanse® sterili-zation, which uses a complexin tandem combination ofmechanical and chemicalprocesses. Since BioCleanse®does not sterilize using exces-sive heat or irradiation, it pre-serves the structural andmechanical integrity of thetissue while removing bloodand lipids while inactivatingpathogenic microorganisms.After the tissue is, what is

During my eight-month internship, Ihad many unique experiences that gaveme great insight into the inner workingsof an active biomedicalengineering company. Iworked under the sportsmedicine branch onresearch and developmentof new products for theregeneration of the patellar(kneecap) tendon. Sportsmedicine at RTI Biologicsfunctioned as its own enti-ty within the 600-employ-ee company. We catered tosmall markets and had aspecialized product line that focused oncartilage, ligament, and tendon repair.

The 30 sports medicine employeeshandled the independent marketing,development, research, and production ofthe company’s tissue constructs. Due tothe nature of the company’s size, I wasable to interact with personnel from allareas and catch a glimpse of the differentdepartments within the company. I alsolearned about strategies to propel ourproducts forward in the orthopedics mar-ket. I interacted with engineers develop-ing tools to be used in conjunction withthe products we were designing and test-ing in the labs. Moreover, I sat in meet-ings with legal correspondents andlearned about patents and intellectualproperty laws.

Not only did I acquire soft skills dur-ing my time at RTI Biologics by inter-acting with various personnel within thecompany, but my technical expertise was

greatly advanced. As soon as I arrived, Iwas given a project of my own. As anundergrad at UF, I had done researchalongside a graduate student; however, ithad never been my sole responsibility todesign, characterize, and test a tissuedevice. I took the project as a challenge!

After several months, I successfullydeveloped a method to fabricate humancollagen membranes for patellar tendonrepair using mechanically unsound ten-

dons. I characterized theirmechanical properties and deter-mined their water uptake anddegradation rates. With thisproject, I enjoyed the freedomand scientific independence Iwas given. I felt the encourage-ment of my team and supervisorwho provided me with leader-ship and support. By end of myinternship, I had become a moreconfident and qualified engineer.

My internship was the pivotalexperience that led me to pursue a doc-toral degree in biomedical engineering atDuke. It was a crash course on the inter-nal operations of a biomedical engineer-ing firm with great technologies, robustfacilities, and most importantly dedicat-ed and knowledgeable personnel. It putmy creativity, technical knowledge, andproblem solving skills to the test. I mustthank RTI Biologics and the sports med-icine team for such a positive and memo-rable experience.

If you are seeking for your next bigchallenge, my best advice is to print outthose resumes, dust off that suit, andhead over to the career fair. This is youropportunity to explore new areas and todiscover your true passions. Take it fromme, there is a life-changing experiencewaiting for you!

J. Michael Pearson started his Duke journey as anundergraduate student double majoring in mechanicalengineering and materials science and mathematics. Hedescribes his years at Duke as one of the best four yearsof his life because of all the wonderful people, the ter-

rific education, and of course basketball! He met his wifeChristine S. Pearson at Duke whenhe was a senior and she was a fresh-man at Duke’s School of Nursing.

Pearson recalls how fun andmemorable it was for every engi-neering student at Duke to partici-pate in a design contest, wherethey had to throw an egg from thetop of the red-brick engineeringbuilding, Hudson Hall, withoutbreaking it. He appreciated howDuke was wonderful in teachingstudents the balance between workand social life. He was very happyto learn that there are still lots ofsocial activities at Pratt, such as theE-socials and the E-lympics, andbelieved these are the things thatwill be remembered the most overthe years.

If he had to live his life again, hesaid that he would spend less time at work and more time toplay. “These are all trade-offs you have to learn, and the earlyyears of work are tougher; you need to do well. The quickeryou learn these trade-offs, the fewer mistakes you will make.No one does this for you, you have to control your life your-self, make decisions individually, and assume responsibility.”

Pearson graduated from Duke in 1981 summa cum laudeand Phi Beta Kappa. He was then offered a job as an engi-neer at what was called AT&T Long Lines during that time.A year later, looking for more excitement, he went on to theschool of business at the University of Virginia, where hewon the Shermet award and earned his MBA in 1984.Thereafter, he pursued a career of 23 years at McKinsey andCompany, a global management consultancy firm, serving as

a director, member of the board of directors, head of theglobal pharmaceutical practice, and head of McKinsey’smid-Atlantic region.

When asked how the transition from science and engi-neering to business was for him, he answered that Duke hadprovided him the best training for that purpose, teaching

him logical thinking and problemsolving. As a CEO, he was required tosolve complicated problems and tocome up with creative solutions.Engineering is a major that preciselyteaches you these skills along withhard work and discipline, Pearsonexplained.

In 2008 he left McKinsey andjoined Valeant PharmaceuticalsInternational Inc., a multinationalspecialty pharmaceutical companyfocusing on neurology and dermatol-ogy therapeutic areas, as the chairmanof the board and chief executive offi-cer. At Valeant he has been able tomake the company a stock-marketfavorite, raising the sales to $2.5 bil-lion and acquiring 21 companies inless than four years. The Wall StreetJournal listed Pearson as one of the

best CEO’s in 2008.With his company’s R&D division in Durham and two of

his children studying at Duke as a freshman and a sopho-more, Pearson visits Duke more often now. Keeping his tiesto his alma mater, he is on Fuqua’s Board of Visitors, spon-sors an athletic scholarship for Duke students, and con-tributes to Duke basketball financially. He has made a giftof $15 million on behalf of his wife to Duke’s School ofNursing in recognition of their recent advancements towardsimproved health care. This generous gift has enabled theschool to name its building after his wife.

If you are a Pratt student, or if you have visited Pratt during the first weekend in Aprilor November, you have probably noticed the semi-annual influx of “older” people tothe engineering quad. Once every fall and spring, the Pratt Board of Visitors arrives oncampus for two days. We take up the lecture halls and conference rooms. We some-times tour classrooms and labs. We have our breakfasts and lunches in the FitzpatrickCenter atrium or the Teer lobby. Some of you have presented your research or entrepre-

neurship projects to us or joined us for lunch or dinner. Most of us are Duke Engineeringalums, some are parents of Duke students, and all of us are passionate about Duke Engineering.

The Pratt Board of Visitors is a group of approximately 60 people who have an interest inDuke’s Pratt School of Engineering, and are willing to dedicate a significant amount of time tothe school. Members return to campus for about five days each year to attend BoV meetings,but we also spend time between meetings doing committee work and attending Duke events.Our mission is to provide strategic guidance to the Dean and the school, and the group is wellsuited to this task. Each member of the Board of Visitors has been quite successful in his/herchosen field. Our membership includes CEOs of companies large and small, ManagingDirectors of Private Equity and Venture Capital Firms, and Partners, VPs and Directors fromindustry, medical practices, financial firms, and departments of the government. We come toDuke from cities around the country and the world, including Alaska, NYC, Silicon Valley,London and Hong Kong. And, in spite of my reference to “older” people, our ages vary con-siderably…we have members from the class of 2002 as well as from the class of 1952.

BoV members have been quite generous to Duke-generous with time, money, advice, andsometimes jobs. We are truly interested in helping Pratt, and Pratt students, succeed.However, it would be a mistake to assume that our service is purely a selfless act. I believe Ispeak for the entire board in saying that service to Duke is a reward in and of itself. I look for-ward to meetings, and I am inspired each time by the exciting things happening at Duke, bythe energy and accomplishments of the Pratt faculty and staff, and by the dedication andinsight of my fellow board members.

Bud Copeland, E’81, a very active member of the BoV, recently described his service. “It isa privilege to serve on the Pratt Board of Visitors that includes many successful members fromindustry, government and academia. All have strong ties to Duke, and all are striving to helpDean Katsouleas in any way we can, with the overarching focus of continuing and advancingPratt’s excellence in engineering.” Another member, Jeff Spiritos, E’76, agreed, saying,“Participating on the Pratt BoV allows us to see the inner workings of Duke and the engineer-ing school and to understand and support the Dean’s vision for opportunity, innovation andcollaboration. The kinetic energy that comes from amalgamation of administration, facultyand industry input in our meetings is palpable and gratifying. It is a privilege to be a part ofthe experience.”

We adapt our BoV organization to the changing needs of the school. We want our commit-tees to align with Duke’s and Pratt’s goals, so that we can best address the most current issuesfacing the school. Naturally, we have an Engineering Human Health Committee, because theBiomedical Engineering program is such an important part of the engineering school, and wewant to make sure Duke maintains and increases its strength in this area. But we have alsoestablished several committees to address Pratt’s new initiatives in areas such as international,innovation and entrepreneurship, and energy and the environment. It has been exciting for usto be a part of the process that created new programs such as the Energy & EnvironmentCertificate and second major. Right now the BoV has a keen focus on entrepreneurship andhow to encourage that spirit among our students.

It is an honor to serve as the chair of this active and impressive board. The discussions arestimulating, and the dedication to the school is remarkable. My fellow BoV members aretruly accomplished, interesting people, who have as a common denominator their dedication toDuke. While the time commitment is significant, I think we all feel that we get as much ormore out of the BoV as we give, and we look forward to continued progress and innovation atthe Pratt School of Engineering.

From the EAC President

My Fellow Engineering Alumni:It is an honor to serve as this year’s EngineeringAlumni Council (EAC) President. As you mayknow, the EAC represents the broaderEngineering Alumni Association (EAA) in interac-tions with the Pratt School of Engineering.Essentially, we are your presence on campus. TheEAC is composed of engineering alumni mem-bers from the EAA, Engineering Student Govern-ment leaders, and members of Pratt’s develop-ment team. In addition to practicing engineers,our volunteer members include doctors,lawyers, venture capitalists, and entrepreneurs,and represent various classes of graduates.

Our primary responsibility is to coordinate theactivities of the EAA in support of the PrattSchool and its alumni. Among these activities,Pratt’s EAC has three major ongoing initiatives:Student Projects, Annual Alumni Awards, andAlumni Awareness.

Student ProjectsPratt students represent the very best and thebrightest, with a thirst for knowledge and expe-rience, and an unending desire to be involvedwith activities that extend beyond the standardcurriculum. These activities include longstand-ing student projects, such as the MotorsportsSAE formula car, and initiatives of engineeringstudent organizations such as ASCE, IEEE,NSBE, and SWE. These activities also extend toother endeavors, such as AIAA Design Build Fly,Innoworks, Engineering World Health, andEngineers Without Borders. Each of thesegroups has additional information posted onthe Pratt website. One common factor in all ofthese activities is that at least some fundinghas been provided by the EAA, through the EAC.In some instances, the EAA/EAC represents aprimary funding source, without which theactivities may not be possible.

You, as a member of the EAA, already helpsupport these student projects. Your annual EAAdues are all directed to the EAC which, in turn,applies these dues toward the student projects.However, the EAC faces an ever-increasingdemand for funding assistance from Pratt stu-dents as the depth and breadth of these proj-ects continually expand. While we are always

able to provide at least some funding for eachgroup, we would like to be able to provide more.

For active dues payers, we extend the grati-tude of the students involved in the projects,and hope that you continue to remain active.For those who have yet to become dues payers,or who may have discontinued your dues forsome reason, please note that even a few extradues payers each year can make a big differ-ence in the student experience, and we hopethat you will consider helping us in our cause.

Rest assured that the EAC does not justfreely distribute these funds. In this regard, theEAC has developed a rigorous applicationprocess for acquiring funding, which requiresboth a formal written proposal before an oralpresentation to the entire EAC. We have alsoimplemented follow-up reporting requirementsfor each funded student project, which requiresthe students to describe how they spent themoney and the results achieved, and to presenttheir projects at the annual engineering alumnibanquet. The EAC has also been tracking stu-dent project team members through graduation,with the goal of seeking their support of studentprojects as they join the ranks of our alumni,both as alumni dues payers and donors. In caseyou were wondering, yes, you can make an ear-marked donation to help fund these studentprojects, and you can pay your EAA dues onlineat www.gifts.duke.edu/pratt.

In addition, many of these groups/projectsmay benefit from materials and/or knowledgeand experience that you may be able to provide.For example, donations of materials may signif-icantly reduce the monetary cost of some proj-ects, and may make those funds available forother projects. Also, your company may be will-ing to sponsor a student project. Please con-tact our student projects committee chair, JasonPiché (jasonopiche@yahoo.com), if you areinterested in donating materials or additionalfunds, or may otherwise be able to assist thestudent groups and projects.

Annual Alumni AwardsEach year, the EAC determines the recipients ofthe Distinguished Alumnus Award,Distinguished Young Alumnus Award and

Distinguished Service Award, and we celebratethe achievements of these award recipientseach year at the engineering alumni banquet.Having attended several of these banquets dur-ing my tenure on the EAC, it is always remark-able to witness the reactions of these recipientsas they accept their awards, and hear firsthand the achievements and accomplishmentsof these individuals that have made them sodeserving of these distinctions.

Attending the engineering alumni banquetwill provide you with the opportunity to person-ally interact with these award recipients, aswell as the students who benefit from yourparticipation in the EAA, and to see for your-self the results of your support. Accordingly,please consider joining us at this year’s ban-quet on Saturday, April 14, 2012 at theWashington Duke Inn.

Please note that our EAC Awards Committeeworks very hard each year to identify candidatesfor these awards. However, in order to makesure that accomplished and deserving alumniand supporters of Pratt are not otherwise over-looked, we ask for your help in bringing anyqualified candidates to our attention by con-tacting an EAC member, or by directly nominat-ing them online at http://www.pratt.duke.edu/alumni-awards.

Alumni AwarenessHopefully, this letter has provided some usefulinformation about the EAC and what we do foryou, as a member of the EAA, as well as for theEngineering students at Pratt. You can restassured that your yearly engineering alumnidues are highly valued and are being put togood use. Of course, if you wish to become evenmore involved with Pratt, we would certainlywelcome your participation in the EAC. Pleasecontact me or any of the EAC members if youmay be so interested, and we can provide fur-ther information.

On behalf of the students, we greatly valueyour assistance and extend our sincere grati-tude for your ongoing consideration.

development

In my article in the 2011 issue of the DukEngineer you were informed oftwo special development programs initiated by engineering alumni. JohnChambers E’71, CEO of Cisco Systems, Inc., provided a fabulous match-ing gift that successfully helped to create 20 new undergraduate scholar-

ships for the School. In the other program, Fred Fehsenfeld E’73 provided a challenge gift for

two of our young alumni classes to help increase participation in support ofthe school through the Annual Fund. At the writing of my 2011 article thatprogram was still in progress.

Today we happily inform you that Fred’s challenge gift was 100 percentsuccessful!

The engineering class of 2001, celebrating their 10th reunion, and the engi-neering class of 2006, celebrating their fifth reunion, both achieved over 50percent participation in the Annual Fund! This marked the first time thateither class achieved 50 percent participation! Of note is only seven engineer-ing classes out of 50 achieved 50 percent participation or better in theAnnual Fund for the 2010-2011 fiscal year! This is a remarkable achieve-ment.

One of Fred’s goals from this program was for someone else to take up thegauntlet of providing “the challenge” to the young alumni classes to achieve50 percent participation. We are exceedingly fortunate that two alumni havedone so for this fiscal year. They are Ted Kennedy E’52 and Michael RhodesE’87. The challenge has gone out to the following engineering classes—1997

(celebrating their 15th reunion), 2002 (celebratingtheir 10th reunion), and 2007 (celebrating their 5th

reunion). We are deeply grateful to both of thesealumni for stepping up and continuing this wonderfulprogram initiated by Fred Fehsenfeld. We look forward

to sharing the results with you in the next DukEngineer. We want to take this moment to thank all of our alumni, parents, and

friends of the Pratt School of Engineering for supporting the school so gener-ously over the years. Your gifts to the Engineering Annual Fund carried theSchool to a new record total in excess of $2.9 million! Our participation rateoverall remained at 40 percent. In my next article I hope to offer you somecomparisons of this data with other engineering schools. We compare quitefavorably thanks to your generosity and support. Thank you for making ourschool one of the top engineering schools in the country!

Pratt School of Engineering Annual Fund 2010-2011Listed below and on the following pages are those Engineering Alumni that showed their affinity for the School by supportingthe 2010-2011 Annual Fund Campaign. We are most grateful to those who donated to the School because they allowed us toreach 38% participation. Our goal is to reach a 42% participation rate before any other University program. Please don’t letyour consecutive giving lapse by missing a year!

To better recognize our consistent donors, their names are denoted in bold for five years of consecutive giving. For those whograduated less than five years ago their names will also be in bold if they have given each year since graduation. Finally, to rec-ognize consecutive giving over the years, we are placing the number of years you have supported the School in parenthesis nextto your name. We will update the list each year to continue recognizing our loyal alumni.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
