The Duke @ DKU MEng in ECE Program has created a setup that fully integrates classroom education and professional training to prepare students for the active engagement necessary to devise solutions for global technical challenges. This training allows students to develop into technical leaders of the global world. In addition, our customized curriculum further facilitates student growth, providing them with the knowledge and ability to cultivate their interests and pursue long-term career development in various fields such as business, management, and medicine.
“Our program takes place over 4 semesters and 10 courses for a total of 30 credits. “
Of these 10 courses, 8 are technical courses (3 credits per course) and 2 are industry preparation courses (3 credits per course). Students are required to complete summer internship (0 credits) and take additional language and professional training courses (0 credits per course). ECE Master Success Seminar (0 credits/no tuition) is a weekly seminar which is required for students entering in Fall 2024 or after.
The students from Duke @ DKU MEng in ECE Program will spend their first year in China, complete a summer internship, and then spend their second year in the United States.
All ECE students are expected to take the Duolingo English Test (DET) at the beginning of their first academic year. The test fee is covered by the program. Students who have already submitted a valid DET score for ECE application may reuse their previous score.
Based on DET results, students may be eligible for course waivers at DKU:
Students who do not take the DET or whose scores do not meet the thresholds must enroll in the corresponding courses.
At the end of the first academic year, students who are enrolled in the Speaking course are required to retake the DET. A Conversation score of 115 or above allows students to waive the Speaking course during their second year at Duke. Otherwise, the course requirement cannot be waived.
If a student fails any English course at DKU, the student will be terminated from the program.

Students should not contact the Language and Culture Center (LCC) directly regarding program-specific requirements.
