During herspare time, she enjoyswandering throughgrassy areas, concoct-ing new dessertrecipes and dabblingin Chopin pieces onDuke’s grand pianos.

This year marks the 75th anniversary of engineering at Duke—and in celebration of that milestone, our students have put together areal treat with this commemorative issue of DukEngineer.

As you can read in the article “Calculating ΔPratt” by Matt Nagle,DukEngineer is a student tradition that’s almost as old as our schoolitself. Since 1940, Duke engineering students have chronicled theireducation and experiences in its pages, providing a wonderful record ofhow the school has grown and changed over the decades. I hope you’llenjoy the interesting and often amusing look back at our history inthis issue as much as I did. Some of you alumni readers may even recognize the issues you contributed to back in the day!

To me, DukEngineer is a great example of the kind of student-ledengagement and initiative that sets Duke Engineering apart. Our students aren’t ones to focus narrowly—they bring their wide-rangingtalents and passions to everything they do, and Duke provides a fertileenvironment for developing and applying that energy to make a realdifference in the world.

In this issue, our students will tell you about work they’re doing toimprove health care in developing nations, build better robots andimprove community access to clean water. They’ll tell you about theprofessors who inspire and mentor them, giving them opportunities toparticipate in hands-on research in areas ranging from environmental

chemistry to microfluidic biochips to medical imaging. And they’ll share the success thatcomes from all that hard work, with excellent career prospects across the board. (In fact, asyou can see on page 22, Pratt’s job placement rates at graduation are far higher than thenational average for engineering schools!)

Since our beginnings 75 years ago, Duke Engineering has graduated leaders and problem-solvers who change the world for the better. Today, we’re able to offer students even moreinspiration and even more opportunities to excel than ever before. Just consider:

• Duke is currently the fastest-rising engineering school in the U.S.News & WorldReport rankings—and ranked #10 among all U.S. engineering schools in researchproductivity (Academic Analytics 2012).

• Our total external research funding has more than tripled in the past decade. And,we now have six major externally funded research centers—a key marker of topengineering programs—up from none less than a decade ago.

• New Duke-developed programs like the NAE Grand Challenge Scholars Programand Ph.D. Plus offer students additional opportunities for research engagementand professional development.

• Total graduate student enrollment increased from 594 to 867 since 2008.Undergraduate enrollment today totals more than 1,200 students—and breaksselectivity records year after year.

At this point in our history, Duke Engineering is on a truly breathtaking upward trajectory—thanks to our incredible students, world-class faculty, entrepreneurial and interdisciplinary culture, and the support of generous alumni and friends who fuel our success.

Here’s to all those who made our first 75 years fantastic and to an even more amazing future!

The students of Duke’s graduate engineering programsare among the brightest and most well-rounded in thecountry. They chose Duke not only for its exceptionalfaculty and degree programs, but also because of the

complete graduate school experience during their time herethat can enhance their professional education, make theirtime more enjoyable and better prepare them to take the critical next step in their careers.

Toward this effort, the Engineering Graduate StudentCouncil (EGSC) exists to enhance the overall graduate stu-dent experience within Pratt by supplementing world-classcurricula and research with student-driven initiatives andactivities focused on improving the academic, career andsocial outlook for our students.

One of this year’s most successful ventures has been thedevelopment of the Pratt Ph.D. Plus Enhancement Programinto a complete and autonomous committee. The programis truly special in that it is one of the first student-founded,student-run professional development programs in the country. Its goal is to help graduate students learn about the rich diversity of career opportunities available to themafter graduation and, equally importantly, identify additionalgoals and skill sets to better align themselves with that path.The foundation of the program is a series of workshops andseminars with invited professionals from across the U.S.These talks cover traditional interests, such as starting a labor standing out in the hiring process, as well as less commonfocuses, such as skills for entrepreneurship and paths topatent law.

In addition, Ph.D. Plus offers networking events withprofessionals and students from other schools as well asinternship opportunities. Since its inception and inauguralyear as an EGSC program, Ph.D. Plus has grown signifi-cantly in enrollment and participation. Co-chairs JudithWinglee (CEE) and Jennifer Rinker (CEE) have done awonderful job coordinating the program and preparingPh.D. Plus for official graduate school approval as a certificate program. We hope that this student-driven modelwill serve as an exemplar for similar efforts within Duke and at other universities across the country.

This past December we paused to remember AbhijitMahato, a Duke graduate student who tragically lost his lifeto murder in 2008. In his memory, Duke University and the Pratt School of Engineering generously established theMahato Memorial to celebrate Mahato’s passion for science,art and the connections between them. Now in its fourthyear, the Mahato Memorial Envisioning the Invisible Image andPhoto Contest welcomes submissions that exemplify the use

of imaging, both in scientificresearch and everyday life, to helpexplain various phenomena in theworld. Winning images are dis-played year-round in the atriumof the Fitzpatrick Center, and weinvite everyone to visit and view these amazing pieces (youcan also see them online at mahato.pratt.duke.edu).

Laila Roudsari (BME) and her committee have workeddiligently to plan the event and, as always, EGSC is honoredto be entrusted with leading this annual tribute to Mahato’smemory.

We were also active in improving research support andawareness across the school. EGSC organized an externalfunding workshop for first- and second-year students to gaininsight and learn tips for applying to fellowships from apanel of prestigious award winners from previous years. Our student seminar series, led by Lily Kuo (BME), offeredopportunities for students to step away briefly from thedepth of their own work and experience the breadth ofamazing research activities across Pratt. By encouraging students to learn about the work of their peers in Pratt, weaim to foster the idea-sharing and interdisciplinary collabo-ration that is so vital in today’s research environment.

In addition to these academic and community initiatives,EGSC planned social activities so that graduate studentscould relax, have fun and interact with fellow students, staffand faculty on our richly diverse campus. Stop by on aFriday afternoon and you will find graduate students allaround the engineering quad for the weekly E-Social andhappy hour. Catch us when the new students arrive orspring warmth reappears for a picnic with food from ourown grills. In this past year, EGSC has organized summerdays on Lake Crabtree as well as a Duke basketball watchparty for students to meet and get to know one another.

All that we have accomplished in the past year would nothave been possible without the dedication of my fellow student leaders and the extraordinary support we enjoy. Iwould especially like to thank Deans Tom Katsouleas andMonty Reichert for providing the institutional support andfinancial backing we need, and Sara Faust for her seeminglyinexhaustible administrative support. I look forward to thenext year as EGSC strives to build upon our success inimproving the Pratt graduate student experience.

From the ESG PresidentFrom the EGSC President

2013 was another amazing year forEngineering Student Government and thePratt community. ESG excelled in ourmission to continually improve studentlife on the E-Quad. Through the hardwork of our dedicated members as wellas the enthusiasm shown from the student body, we put together sometruly fantastic events, making for greatspring and fall semesters.

We successfully continued the tradi-tion of weekly Friday E-Socials. Byworking closely with the EngineeringGraduate Student Council, we havegrown E-Socials to accommodate notonly the undergraduate body, but alsothe growing graduate student contin-gent as well. This has created weeklyevents which bridge the gap betweenundergrads and grad students unlikeany events we’ve had in the past.Moreover, thanks to the efforts of theESG Industry Relations Chair, we havemade E-Socials a highly desirable eventthat company representatives loveattending. This past year alone, compa-nies including Google, Stryker, IBM,Capital One and many more have cometo cohost E-Socials, getting to know thePratt student body in a more relaxedand informal setting than anywhere else.

Beyond the E-Socials, our set ofevents continued to include a springand fall E-Picnic, complete with the ever popular Pratt T-Shirts, as well as E-Oktoberfest and E-Kickball, all ofwhich have been larger and more successful than we could have possiblyanticipated. Our E-Picnics and E-Picnicshirts have continued to be the majorstaples of our calendar and remain twocomponents of Pratt student life thathighlight our efforts. Additionally, thispast year, the E-Ball held at theUniversity Club was a huge success anda lot of fun for all in attendance.

The Academic Action Committee ofESG has also been a key component toour great year. Populated with brightand committed students, the AAC haslent its abilities to address student advising in new and creative ways.Working with the administration, AAChas been a major part of the effort tochange the way engineering advisingworks by helping create an environmentwhere a student has many sources ofadvice and mentorship.

ESG is poised to continue this successinto 2014. Our dedicated board is currently working on many projects forearly in the spring semester, including a redesigned, more accessible website(esg.pratt.duke.edu), and an engineeringlecture series, highlighting Pratt facultyand directed toward freshmen, begin-ning in January.

We would like to thank all of thePratt community for helping us throughanother successful year. We are especial-ly grateful for the help from the facultyand staff, without whom our jobs wouldbe nigh impossible. We invite you towrite to us, check the website forupdates and come out to the events.

We are ecstatic about what the futureholds for our organization and for Prattas a whole.

Sincerely,

Derek SchockenExecutive President, Engineering StudentGovernment

As engineers, we strive to create a better future. Weconsistently push throughthe limitations of the past.As a result, many sweepingchanges have occurred sinceDuke’s school of engineering

officially opened in 1939. One wouldexpect to see these changes echoed in theliterature of the time. Since its first pub-lication in May of 1940, DukEngineerMagazine has always served as (amongother things), “a record of the progress ofthe College of Engineering,” reflectingthe issues and topics relevant to theDuke engineering community. However,a glance back at the magazine itself andthe subjects it brings to light shows thatnot all things have progressed as onemight have expected. Many of the issuesthat engineering students faced 30, 50,even 75 years ago, are still important tothe Pratt student of today.

The changes are obvious. Pratt is larg-er. We have grown in students, faculty,

of a Strapless Evening Gown,”complete with variables, equa-tions, graphs and even—in thelatter—a free-body diagram(using an actual body) probablydid not help alleviate this stereo-type. And most likely neitherdid CEs walking around EastCampus with what to somemust have looked like mounted binocu-lars, to “survey” the female dormitories.Additionally, in each decade, there arecomparative articles that, often quitehumorously, point out the differencesbetween “Trinity kids” and “Pratties /Pratt-stars.” These articles inDukEngineer show that the social issuesof today greatly reflect those of the past.

Additionally, articles about the engi-neering curriculum exist throughouteach decade that touch upon many ofthe same themes, including theory versus application, depth versus breadthof knowledge and students’ well round-edness versus overwhelming workload.

“The general trend inmodern education aims ata more theoretical and lesspragmatic approach toproblems,” wroteDukEngineer editor KeithHarrison in 1969. Hisview and others like iteventually led to the

increase in engineering-focused mathcourses that we see today.

But as anyone who has ever thought,“When am I ever going to use this stuff?”probably already knows, the frictionbetween theory and practice persists. Onthe topic of depth and breadth, DeanMeriam wrote in our winter 1970 issue,“Understanding principles rather thancreative thinking is stressed, which tendsto lead to objectiveness and disinterest.”He added that the administration hasshown a commitment to increasing engineering’s integration into our reveredliberal arts programs in creative ways, acommitment that is still honored.

Finally, in 1964, Dean Meriam notedthat an engineer’s “studies today must becarried on for a much longer period[than previously] in order to keep pacewith the advancing front of availableknowledge.” Well, fifty years later, Ithink we can safely say he was right, andone can only imagine the amount ofinformation that future students willhave on their final exams. So the nexttime you complain that Pratt’s curricu-lum is more rigid (and has a higherYoung’s modulus) than Trinity’s, thatyou want more hands-on labs or thatyour professor is going entirely too fast,rest assured that generations of engineersbefore you have agreed but managed.

Even during preoccupations withWorld War II, the Soviets, the moonand pollution, the engineering studentbody has always shown interest in cur-rent events and how engineering couldsolve the problems of the day. In the1940s, DukEngineer featured many articles about engineering’s role in our

research labs, endowment and almosteverywhere in between. BiomedicalEngineering now accompanies our origi-nal three departments. Teer (1984) andthe more recent FCIEMAS (2004) havejoined “Old Red” Hudson Hall (1948).

Looking around E-Picnic, you can prob-ably see that we have more than theoriginal 201 undergraduates…about fivetimes that. Women have shown an infinite percent increase, from 0 to 30percent. Yes, gone are the fraternity-likedays before 1945 when engineers used toreside in Southgate (or the “Shack” to

some), staying up in Asbury’s (R.I.P.)blueprint drawing room or dancing thenight away at the Spring Dance (today’sE-Ball), in Southgate’s gymnasium.

The similarities, however, cannot beoverlooked. Articles in DukEngineer

from the past 70-plus years reveal thatengineers had trouble shedding thelibrary-dwelling, socially awkward Prattstereotype that Trinity students love somuch.

war efforts. The 1960s saw DukEngineerreflect on the dedication and resolve ofthe nation in engineering a way to themoon. And in the 1970s and 1980s,DukEngineer echoed the fears of theBaby Boom generation, who competedagainst the Soviets and campaigned forresponsible use of our environments andprecious resources. Over the generations,it holds true that we are an educated,informed and enthusiastic student body.One great example of these trends is the

Grand Challenge Scholars Program. This enthusiasm also applies to

technology. Whether it be students withan iPhone5 or a TI-89 calculator, or theuniversity with its first computer, theMV8000 in 1981, Duke has shown adesire to implement the tools of thefuture. Calculators, Wikipedia,AutoCAD and MATLAB may havereplaced the slide rules, hand plottingand T-squares of the past, but the need

to keep up with a changing world andchanging technologies has never left theengineering community at Duke.

When it comes to life after the diplo-ma, our feelings have also been fairlyconsistent. Throughout the past 70-some years, life outside of the “DukeBubble” has always been a frighteningthought. And Bethlehem Steel,Westinghouse, Kodak and RCA aren’ttrying to swoop up Duke students foropenings like they used to. But overall,

engineering as a growing field in societyhas always been a relatively safe bet toland a job, and usually at fairly highsalaries. Relatively speaking, of course,as the starting salaries in 1982 for engineers was expected to be in the high $20,000s.

In DukEngineer’s 1956 issue, DeanSeeley estimated that each year spent in college would be worth a value of$40,000 for the engineering student

compared to only $25,000 for the non-engineer. While the figures have nodoubt changed, it is interesting howthroughout the years there has been asignificant value and weight to an engi-neering diploma from Duke. This helpswhether you are applying to graduateschool or entering the job market,another age-old issue. There may beever-changing circumstances in theeconomy, but the same basic decisionsand outlooks after graduation still ring

true for Duke engineers.All in all, engineering students

from today and the past 75 yearsform a tight-knit community,brought together by a commonexperience of the aspirations,

struggles and joys that come with aDuke engineering diploma. My hope isthat after reading this article, you realizehow much you have in common withstudents from past, present and future,and grow in your appreciation andunderstanding of Dear Old Duke.

ith an average Americanlife expectancy of 79years, it is not surprisingthat Duke students had

difficulty making predictions whenasked how Duke Engineering wouldchange in the next 75 years. A randomsample of the Pratt community wassurveyed to ascertain their thoughts onPratt’s future. While some expressedinterest in more intricate forms ofimprovement, there was a widespreadsentiment of optimism for Pratt’ssteady growth and expansion into theinternational spotlight. Generallyspeaking, students agreed that Prattwould continue excelling in academicachievements, research developmentsand engineering rankings.

While many students expressed satis-faction with Pratt’s current state ofaffairs, there was hope for even higheraspirations in future endeavors. Amongthose pursuing a career in industry,numerous students conveyed a desirefor a deeper integration of businessknowledge and opportunities within theengineering curriculum. One suggestionto diversify and create a multi-facetedengineering experience was to incorpo-rate more information sessions, guestspeakers and collaborations with indus-try partners to broaden student perspec-tives and options. In that same vein, somestudents also believed that increasing thenumber of courses with a focus on indus-trial operations should be systematicallydesigned and made available to studentsplanning to join industry. This wouldbetter prepare them with a business-savvyedge while still harnessing the criticalthinking and analytical skills developedfrom a technically oriented background.

One of the general opinions amongundergraduate students was that not onlywould existing programs become more

prestigious, but also that new programswould be created in engineering to meetthe changing trends and demandsaround the world. For instance, studentsexpected engineering programs across alldisciplines to become increasingly practi-cal rather than theoretical. One way ofattaining this goal would be to emphasizethe design courses where students delveinto the process by which product ideasare conceived, researched, developed andultimately transformed into functionaldeliverables for their target demographic.Other students conveyed hope for

increased collaboration between Dukeand industry partners so that studentscould be directly involved in thecompanies’ project tasks. Still otherswished to see a deeper integration oftechnology and educational practicesat Duke and other top universities inthe area to capitalize on the innova-tive ways technology can engage morestudents and facilitate the classroomexperience. In the Pratt community,75 percent of responders viewed theeducational quality of Pratt to be onan upward trend and predicted itwould continue to rise in future aswell, while 10 percent believed thatthe educational quality would neitherincrease nor decrease. Some membersof the community anticipated thatmore courses and opportunitieswould be developed with a researchfocus that would entail a dynamiccurriculum encompassing theoreticalfoundations and pragmatic knowl-edge of the subject.

While the Duke Engineering com-munity has made significant stridesduring the past few decades, manyforesee an even greater potential forgrowth and opportunities to diversifythe current engineering curriculum.From students interested in pursuing

occupations in industry to those seekingto carve their own paths in academia,there exist numerous outlets for whichstudents can delve into and explore theirrespective fields during their Dukecareers. With a continued enthusiasm forhigh performance, intellectual vitalityand increased diversity, Pratt alums willcontinue to make their mark on theworld for the years to come.

A View from the InsideExploring the Latest Ultrasound Techniques

Boldly seeing what no team hasseen before. This mission seemsto be the motivation for KathyNightingale, Ph.D., the JamesL. and Elizabeth M. Vincent

Associate Professor of BiomedicalEngineering, and her colleagues in theBiomedical Engineering Department ofthe Pratt School of Engineering at Duke,as they aim to transform how the worldof ultrasound imaging interfaces with thehuman condition.

The underlying principle oftheir research dates to 400B.C.E. with the work ofHippocrates, who was perhapsthe first person to record differences in normal abdominaltissues that are soft and mal-leable compared with abnormalabdominal tissues that are hardand stiff. The technology usedfor detecting these differenceshas largely evolved in recentyears due to critical advancesprovided by Nightingale and her colleagues and collaboratorsat Duke University.

From her days as an under-graduate and a graduate studentin the Biomedical EngineeringDepartment, Nightingale hasfocused on the world of medical

imaging, most recently developing anelasticity imaging technology that isnow commercially available (virtualtouch elastography, SiemensCorporation).

While recognition for this advance-ment came only recently, the setting ofthis tale lies in several papers publishedjust over a decade ago. In particular, amanuscript titled, “On the Feasibility of Remote Palpation Using AcousticRadiation Force,” laid the groundworkfor the influential research that was tocome out of Nightingale’s laboratoryover the next several years.

This work focuses on the concept of mechanical excitation, a termNightingale translates to “pushing ontissue.” The approach involves a high-intensity acoustic beam that pushes onthe inside of a tissue, causing a shearwave to ripple through. The speed ofthese resulting waves is directly relatedto the stiffness of the tissue beingprobed, where regions of higher stiffnessare denoted by darker colors on theresulting image. Using this technique in conjunction with the normal use ofultrasound, which gives an image of theacoustic properties of bodily tissue, amap of tissue stiffness as it relates to its surroundings can emerge.

Taking this concept one step further,

the team has investigated the two stiff-ness-related response-wave forms: ARFIand SWEI. Acoustic radiation forceimpulse imaging (ARFI) is a qualitativeapproach, allowing for higher image resolution, whereas shear wave elasticityimaging (SWEI) provides a more quantitative approach, allowing highercontrast between images and estimatingtissue stiffness in numeric form.

While both approaches provide sub-stantive data for imaging, Nightingalesays her ongoing research seeks to perpetuate the idea that “a technology is only as good as its application.” Onesuccessful application of this missionstatement is in liver fibrosis staging, thatis, evaluating the scarring of liver tissuecaused by, among others, hepatitis, alcohol and obesity. Their success herearises from the fact that shear wavespeed in liver tissue increases withincreasing fibrosis, thus liver tissue shearwave speeds are correlated with the clinical outcomes of liver biopsies. Thismeans that virtual touch imaging hasthe potential to streamline the wayphysicians check for liver fibrosis.

Using similar techniques, Nightingaleand her team have worked extensively inprognosticating cancer in the prostategland. Other research at Duke, led byGregg Trahey, Ph.D., the RobertPlonsey Professor of BiomedicalEngineering, and Patrick Wolf, Ph.D.,associate professor of biomedical engi-neering, focuses on developing viableARFI applications with cardiovascularand ablation monitoring (monitoringtissue post-surgery). If a technology istruly only as good as its application,then the merit of this technology speaksfor itself.

Going forward, more work must bedone to apply the use of ARFI andSWEI images with equal effectiveness in all tissue types. Some organs, like theliver, have a relatively homogeneousappearance, where one image coulddescribe a great deal about the rest ofthe organ. However, other organs, like

the prostate gland, do not have a similarpattern and, thus, must be modeled differently.

Due to these groundbreaking efforts,Nightingale and her team members andcolleagues truly are pioneers in the field.Indeed, these achievements mark a significant improvement from the obser-vations originally made by Hippocrates.And by using discoveries from morethan a decade ago and pushing thoseboundaries even farther, they have managed to offer even better solutionsto common medical practices. While the FDA just approved one form of thiswork for use in the United States, possibilities abound for the future of imaging. Given enough time,Nightingale and her colleagues will no doubt sound these out as well.

T echnology moves at a break-neck pace, with advances thatmake the mind spin. DukeUniversity is keeping in stepwith this technological revolu-

tion, but in ways that might surprise thecasual observer. For example, one intrepidgroup of researchers led by KrishnenduChakrabarty, Ph.D., and Richard Fair,Ph.D., have expanded the realm of electricalengineering into the biological world withthe research and development of microflu-idic biochips.

These “lab-on a chip” devices can actually“learn how to test for specific analytesthrough a decision-tree architecture,” accord-ing to Fair, one of the team’s lead researchers.They also have the ability to “electricallycontrol the transport and processing of ‘bio-chemical payload’ in the form of droplets byapplying discrete voltages to transport lines.”The team has taken advantage of this uniquemechanism to develop software to control

the chips’ activity.What exactly does this mean?

According to Chakrabarty’s 2010paper “Digital MicrofluidicBiochips: A Vision for FunctionalDiversity and More than Moore,”their technological innovationenables “the convergence of electronics with the life sciences,”allowing for more precise forms ofmeasurement, diagnostics andelectronic integration with biolog-ical forms. The chips, “compared

to conventional laboratory procedures …offer the advantages of higher sensitivity,lower cost … system integration and lesslikelihood of human error.” When dealingwith biological payloads that could facilitatethe discovery of new drugs or the diagnosisof biological problems, this low-cost, low-error device offers a world of possibilities.

The practical applications of these discov-eries and demonstrations are “numerous,” asFair puts it. Not only can these biochipslearn to test an unknown molecule, which

would be a major benefit to a scientific community looking to analyze and discovermaterials on the molecular level, but theteam has a “target application [that is] rapiddetection of bacterial infections in blood.”

The fact that these chips can performmolecular testing for analysis and diagnosisis very important in the current landscape ofthe scientific community, given the costs andwork required to obtain molecular diagnos-tic data. Fair estimated that “90 percent ofthe cost and 95 percent of the time neededto obtain [the diagnostic data] today is sample preparation, including collection andtransportation.” These “lab-on-a-chip”biochips would drastically cut down thosecosts. With a faster, more efficient methodof collecting diagnostic data on a molecularlevel comes new possibilities for everythingfrom drug synthesis to bacterial diagnostics,blood composition analysis to biological culture analysis.

It can be a bit mind-numbing to think ofall the potential outcomes from this line ofresearch. A microchip that integrates the elec-trical and biological, with the ability to learn,diagnose and analyze right at the site of inter-est, truly seems something left to the pages ofan author’s futuristic novel. However, all ofthis and more is currently under research anddevelopment right within the walls of DukeUniversity. That doesn’t mean, however, thatthe research will be contained to Duke’s labs.When asked about future plans the team hasfor their invention, Fair asserted that the team“would like to put a programmable/adaptivemicrofluidic platform in the hands of [other]researchers. This way we all learn more aboutapplications for an adaptive lab-on-a-chip.”With a more widespread scope for research,the potential for these chips seems truly end-less; what began in a lab at Duke Universitycould one day become a standard analysisdevice in labs and hospitals around the world.

All of the common mechanisms for transporting medicine—spoon,dropper, cup and syringe—“destroy the medication, leaving the motherwithout any of the standard choices available,” explains Malkin. In thisway, “we are solving a problem for which there is no other alternative.”

Through a number of experiments conducted at the lab, it was concluded that the inability to preserve the medication for long periodsof time was not a result of preservation loss but rather absorption ofwater by the packaging itself. To counter this dehydration, the team consisting of undergraduate students designed the Pratt Pouch. Thisstorage device, named in recognition of Duke’s engineering school, has a minimized amount of plastic, among other features, that prevents significant water loss in the medication.

Now in its third generation, the pouch, comparable in size to aketchup packet, has experienced a number of changes in dimension and material and now consists of five distinct layers. Looking towardcontinued development, Malkin comments, “The design of a medicaldevice is never finished. Materials change. Manufacturers come and go.Just like any medical device, [the pouch] needs to evolve.”

The pouch is undergoing clinical trials in Ecuador, Tanzania and Zambia, andhas received unanimous approval from participants with “all mothers saying theywould use the pouch…even in a situation where they could potentially use one ofthe alternative methods,” reports Malkin. “In addition, the team has received

enthusiastic feedbackfrom distributing hospi-tals that report beingable to better avoid“stock out problems,”which result from

having to give the entire bottle of antiretroviral medication instead of just therequired portion, be it one-third or one-half of the bottle. Malkin and thoseinvolved with the pouch’s development are optimistic about these results and theirimplications for the eventual integration of the device, but remain aware of theobstacles that will need to be overcome before the pouch becomes commonplace in developing-world hospitals.

“Certainly funding is the big problem. We are mostly targeting HIV-positivemothers who deliver at home,” Malkin said. “They don’t have very much money,so realistically, there is no profit to be made in the product.”

This limitation, which Malkin acknowledges as being common of medicaldevices intended for the developing world, has resulted in the early developmentbeing highly grant dependent thus far. Compounding this lack of buying power isthe public health community’s nearly exclusive support of proven technologies asopposed to those in early stages of development. Malkin refers to this combinationas the “perfect storm of lack of opportunity.” Despite the forecast, the Pratt Pouchhas already earned a number of accolades from the international health communitythat include being named by the World Health Organization as one of 10 of themost innovative products of 2012 and receiving a seed grant from the Saving Livesat Birth Challenge.

Looking toward the coming years, the veteran engineer states confidently, “Myhope is that we can do enough work for 2015 to get our first major orders fromthe big players in the field.

“I think we can do it.”

Not all problems require a complex solution. In fact, when addressing prob-lems in the developing world, the best solutions are often the most basic.This trend arises from the importance of an advancement’s ability to bereproduced and managed locally, which, in resource-poor settings, oftentranslates to simplicity.

Robert Malkin, professor of the practice in the Department of BiomedicalEngineering at Duke University, and the founder of Engineering World Health(EWH) and the Global Public Service Academies (GPSA), understands this fact well.

In his most recent work, Malkin and his research team at the Developing WorldHealthcare Technology Laboratory (DHT-Lab) have used this methodology indesigning a novel approach to the problem of mother-to-child HIV transmission in developing countries. During the 24 hours after birth, a baby born to an HIV-positive mother is at high risk, a roughly 15 to 45 percent chance according to theWorld Health Organization (WHO), of contracting HIV. It is during this brief window that treatment with antiretroviral drugs is vital to minimize the chances oftransmission. In resource-poor settings, however, a vast majority of women give birthat home and have limited access to proper medication, which, until recently, couldnot be effectively stored in a non-medical environment.

my research has taken me over the years.I’ve always studied pollutants like mercury that occur naturally, but now Irealize there’s a nanoscale reactivity andgeochemistry that allows us to answerquestions we weren’t able to answerbefore. This insight has helped me makemany connections, and looking back atmy eight years here, I would say thatthis progression in my research has been exciting.

How did your PECASE award from theDepartment of Energy come about?The award is run by the Office of Scienceand Technology Policy in the WhiteHouse, which asks various federal agencies for nominees. I was nominatedthrough my early career award from theDepartment of Energy, and they selectedthe winners from that group.

The PECASE is the highest honor bestowedby the U.S. government on scientists early intheir career. How did you feel when youreceived it?I was ecstatic! They don’t tell you official-ly right away, but you kind of figure outwhat’s going on during the vettingprocess. I didn’t know that I was nomi-nated, but I got these e-mails from theWhite House telling me they’re doing abackground check on me, and I thought,“Wait a minute.” That’s how I found out,but I didn’t know for sure for twomonths. When they formally made thedecision, they sent us an e-mail sayingcongratulations and invited us to theWhite House for the ceremony. Therewere about 100 PECASE winners there,representing scientists and engineers fromuniversities and federal labs.

What does being the award recipient entail?We each get a research grant for five years,but because I was nominated through theDepartment of Energy Early ScientistAward, I already had my grant when I was awarded the PECASE. Winning thePECASE for me meant a great trip toWashington, DC, getting to meetPresident Obama and receiving an incred-ible honor. The grant has been reallyimportant to help get my research off the ground.

What do you see for your career in the nextten years?I was recently awarded tenure, so now I’mfree to pursue research with a long-termperspective. I would like to take whatwe’re working on and make it influentialby focusing on the way that practicingengineers deal with contaminated sedi-ments and water. A lot of the work we’vebeen doing is fundamental, but now Iwould like to make it more practical sothat environmental engineers can use thisinformation to make better decisionsabout remediation. Also, I would like tobe more involved in the running of theuniversity, like how Pratt is organized andhow the administration makes decisionson educational initiatives, for example.I’m interested in making Pratt better.

Do you have any advice for youngresearchers who would like to be in yourshoes one day?I really encourage students to do researchbecause I have done research since I was afreshman in college in areas that are verydifferent from what I am doing now. Theearly research experience helped me figureout general fields I was interested in andwhat I wanted to do. If you might beinterested, I suggest reaching out to professors that you find encouraging. Itdoesn’t hurt to ask. Even though it can behard to figure out what you’re really inter-ested in, there are ways to be proactive.Sometimes you can read the websites of

professors who write about their projects.And sometimes you meet professors whotaught a class you found engaging, inwhich case you should send an e-mail orcatch them during office hours! Set anappointment, talk about the research andsend them your résumé. For me, I likebeing able to mentor undergrad studentsbecause great professors mentored me andI want to pass that on.

As for continuing researchers, one ofthe difficult things about research is theslow process. There can be a lot of frus-trations, but just hang in there. What Ireally like about research is the intellectu-al challenge during the process.

How large is your team of researchers andhow can interested students get involved?I have seven Ph.D. students and fourpost-docs, so I mostly have grad students,though I often have a few undergrad students during the year as well. In fact,I’m currently mentoring a chemistrymajor for her independent study.

I also work with professors in environ-mental engineering and the NicholasSchool of the Environment here at Duke.We share research grants, write paperstogether and mentor each other’s students. It’s the culture at Duke—a culture of collaboration.

Professor Heileen Hsu-Kim’s cutting-edge research at the Pratt School of Engineering has earned herthe 2012 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE).

How long have you been at Duke and whatbrought you here? I’ve been at Duke for eight years, since2005. I was drawn by the opportunity tobe an assistant professor at Duke becausethis university has a great environment tostart research and to teach. There aren’tmany universities that allow this kind ofopportunity.

What kind of research are you doing now?My research area is environmental engi-neering and I am an aquatic geochemist.The research I do is mostly related tocontaminant metals in the environment.We look at the toxicity of metals, studythe amount of metal contaminants inwater, soil and sediments, and try to discover ways to mitigate the effects ofthese contaminants.

Specifically, my research team is splitinto a few projects. One part of my groupworks on questions related to mercury,which is an environmental neurotoxin.We are trying to answer many questions.For example, what chemical forms of mer-cury exist in sediments, soil and water?How can we predict its bioavailability tomicroorganisms? How can we predict itsrisks to human health?

We also have research activities relatedto the products that come from burningcoal for energy. We are interested in therisks of disposing of these products andthe hazards related to the trace elementtoxins in these materials. We’re also look-ing at how different types of coal andcoal-burning processes can affect thechemistry of these products.

Additionally, we are looking at theenvironmental implications of nanotech-

nology. Nanotechnology is the manipula-tion of materials at a very small scale—ascale only slightly bigger than individualmolecules. This tiny scale results in a setof reactivities and properties that followsits own rules, which speaks to the unique-ness of nanotechnology and the ways wecan take advantage of that uniqueness.Despite the small scales, engineers andscientists have made strides in manipulat-ing materials at this level during the past20 years. As a geochemist, my perspectiveis that materials at this scale persist every-where in nature—they’re ubiquitous. Forexample, if you take a handful of soil itwill be filled with nanoparticles becauseclays are made of them.

We are interested in studying engi-neered nanomaterials and their environ-mental implications. There are manysimilarities between engineered and natural nanomaterials in terms of theirfundamental chemistry. A lot of nan-otechnology is not new—many materialswe make have natural analogues in theenvironment. So perhaps we can use thisenvironmental perspective to help usunderstand some of the risks of this typeof engineering.

We do things with nanotechnology forenvironmental applications, mostly metal-based nanomaterials like zinc oxide andsilver, which are used in consumer prod-ucts. We’re researching methods to usenanomaterials to remediate contaminatedsediments, for example. We also have aSuperfund project using zero-valent iron(similar to cast iron but nanoscale) as away to degrade sediment contaminantssuch as flame retardants.

It’s been cool to see the direction that

So the data centers are the clouds as weknow them today?That’s right. So, typically when you talkto, say, Google, Microsoft or Amazon,they are going to build these large datacenters, maybe dissipating on the order ofmegawatts of power with thousands ofservers. The question is, how do wedesign and manage memory processorsand memory systems in that setting? Weare looking at applications like web searchand machine learning and trying to figureout how to build hardware systems thatbetter suit those other duties.

So your research is trying to minimize thepower loss?My research attempts to minimize powerwhile guaranteeing performance targets,and we have a particular strategy for that.We have multiple types of hardware, sosometimes you have high-performancecomponents and sometimes you have low-power components in the system or a mixof the two. And then, whenever possible,when the computation is able to run onthe low-power hardware without violatingperformance targets, we try to do that.

But sometimes you just cannot do that,you just need to answer quickly, whichmeans you need to send it to a high-performance, high-power component. So our approach has been heterogeneity,which is the mix of different types ofhardware, and then trying to manage,allocate and schedule work onto thoseheterogeneous systems.

What is the biggest challenge in your current research?The biggest challenge is system complexi-ty. We know how to build new pieces ofhardware, but managing those complexhardware systems is increasingly difficult.It involves resource management, softwarescheduling and guaranteeing performancewhile reducing power. It is a managementquestion in addition to a design question.So, I think we can build whatever wewant. However, the question is whether ornot people will be able to use it, and theanswer will be no if we make the systemtoo complex to manage. We need to find

ways to manage systems more effectively,which is a new approach to thinkingabout design in computer architecture—in the past, architects have simply builttheir designs. In contrast, we integrate the process of designing and managingcomputer hardware.

How did your work come to receive this award?We wrote a research proposal, outliningthe vision and technical approach andexperimental way to run, and that pro-posal was evaluated by a committee ofour peers. The proposal was then scoredto determine the funding received. Andmost of the money from this award willgo toward student funds and fellowships,as Ph.D. students at Duke are funded byresearch assistantships.

Why did you choose to work in academiaover industry?I did a lot of undergraduate research,and I found that I liked it. It gave me areally good breadth of experiences. Inaddition to simply coding and workingon technical areas, research allows youto think about the big picture, allowsyou to, once you have the data, do dataanalysis. I also like giving talks on thework. Not only am I doing the hardtechnical work, but also the data interpolation and analysis as well as thewriting and presentations. I like the mixof responsibilities as a Ph.D.

Can you clarify the difference betweencomputer science and computer engineering?If you ask a computer architect, mostarchitects will say that there is no difference, and most of the ECE kidsdoing computer engineering also doublemajor in computer science. Hardware istypically computer engineering andsoftware is typically computer science. If you write good software, that mightbe fine, but you still need to understandthe hardware that it is running on to get good performance.

You mentioned machine learning—how fastis it advancing in the 21st century?Machine learning is advancing very rapid-ly, and the main reason for that is theamount of data we are producing. Therehave been some studies that say that thedata we are generating is increasing by 50percent each year and it is compoundingas fast geometric growth. This means youhave a large amount of data that requiremore effective algorithms. One example is the language translation that Googledoes. Historically, when researchers triedto do translations they would really tryto understand the grammar. Now theyare realizing that you don’t need all ofthat—just throw in the data and put agood algorithm on top of it. If you speakin EU Parliamentarian, then your language translation is very good, becausethat is what they are drawn on. So if youwant something translated and it soundsa lot like what the EU would say, you aregoing to get very accurate results. I thinkthat the amount of data we have is driving the quality of machine learning.

Any advice for the incoming class of Pratt 2018?Within Pratt, I will recommend electricaland computer engineering (ECE) toincoming students, because I think thejob prospects are quite good after gradua-tion. My second piece of advice is to gofor breadth; don’t assume that you wantto do programming and focus on thecomputer science side, because breadth isimportant. Additionally, try to getinvolved in more extracurricular activitieslike undergraduate research, as many faculty are happy to have undergraduates.It is a great experience to have beforeattending graduate school, and under-graduates will do projects that are directlyrelated to what my Ph.D. students do,such as simulation and design, so theywill be writing large programs to under-stand behavior and data analysis on performance and power of design.

Efe Aras is a Pratt freshman leaningtoward both BME and ECE.

20 dukengineer 2014

What is your current research topic at Duke?I am what you would call a computerarchitect, which is doing research at theinterface between hardware and software.That means we try to design new hard-ware architectures but we also try tounderstand software trends and makesoftware perform better.

How did you get into this research?Within computer architecture there aredifferent areas; power efficiency is animportant one and is something I havebeen working on since graduate school.Power efficiency matters because you usually have power budgets associatedwith temperature constraints. When Istarted this research in the early 2000s,we were in an era where we were trying

to build a lot of hardware but the powerdensity was just too difficult to manage.

Tell me about the NSF CAREER Award?The CAREER Award is one of the more prestigious awards given by theNSF to early career researchers, which I believemeans it has been less than fiveyears since you started your faculty position.

The CAREER Award is one of thethings that is really great to jump-start aresearch program because it is a five-yeargrant. In my case, the CAREER Awardwas for data center research, so it wasabout designing and managing proces-sors and memory systems for large datacenters, getting better energy efficiencyand delivering good performance.

Benjamin C. Lee is a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. His research focuses onpower-efficient computer architectures and high-performance applications. Lee has held various visiting researchpositions at Microsoft Research, Intel Corporation and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and received ahighly valued 2012 NSF CAREER Award. DukEngineer had the opportunity to discuss his work with him recently.

Education

or students today in the Pratt School ofEngineering, there are a growing num-ber of considerations for career deci-sions. While many engineers at Dukechoose careers in engineering industries,some pursue careers outside of engineer-ing for various motivations, includingexpected salary, market or industry circumstances, job satisfaction, andpotential for career advancement.

The vast majority of jobs demand inter-disciplinary collaboration, critical think-ing, creativity and communication skills;it is no coincidence that this list coincideswith the pillars of a Pratt education.

Pratt engineers, well-versed in the artsof problem-solving and interdisciplinarythinking, have long been coveted byemployers in other industries, especiallythose that rely heavily on quantitativeanalysis.

Research has indicated that entry-levelsalaries of engineering majors havebecome more competitive in recent yearsand even surpassed those of historicallystrong non-engineering majors (Figure1). However, jobs in finance, consulting,medicine and technology can also appeal,not only because of high salaries, but alsoin terms of perception and status.

Linda Franzoni, associate dean forundergraduate education, noted that sinceher arrival at Duke more than a decadeago, the curriculum has expanded wellbeyond concepts and theory taught in tra-ditional lectures, evolving so that projectand lab-based learning are now key com-ponents of most every engineering class.New classes have also been introducedduring the past several years to offer moreopportunities for design practice andapplied learning, including EGR121L:Engineering Innovations. Perhaps becauseof these changes, engineering is nowdrawing more math- and science-orientedstudents from other disciplines such asmathematics, economics, finance and thephysical sciences, thereby expanding theengineering student body while also introducing more diverse academic backgrounds and career aspirations.

Some Pratt engineers choose to enterthe job market directly after college,while for others graduating from Duke

is only the first step in professionaldevelopment and education. The Classof 2013 exit survey reveals interestingtrends among Pratt graduates. Of theseniors who completed the survey, thosewho expected to be employed after graduating were asked what industrythey expected to work in (Figure 2).

A majority of Pratt seniors planned towork in engineering or other technicalfields, across all majors. Other chosencareer paths varied by degree, with popular options including consulting,finance and medical/health fields.Figure 3 reports the advanced degrees

that seniors are planning to pursue.Roughly a fifth of the responding BMEsare expecting to attend medical schoolupon graduating from Duke, so manyBMEs must feel that their engineeringdegree is good preparation for medicalschool and ultimately for professionalmedicine. While most Pratt

graduates intend to pursue advanceddegrees at some point in the future, thisis less true for ECEs, with nearly a thirdundecided about or planning not to earna higher degree.

Lastly, Figure 4 shows that ECEmajors have the highest average startingsalary, followed by ME, CEE and BME.This trend suggests that for undergradu-ates directly entering the work force, thehigher labor demand in better-payingindustries means less incentive for immediate entry into an advance degreeprogram and vice-versa. Notably, startingsalaries for Pratt grads are higher acrossthe board than the national average.

Asked whether he felt his engineeringdegree prepared him well for his futurecareer in consulting, senior Ryan Kim(ECE) replied, “While I value theknowledge I have gained as an electricaland computer engineer, I feel that theprocess of completing my degree has

best prepared me for my career. It hastaught me to manage my schedule, coor-dinate people and react to adversity.” Interms of skills gained as an engineer,sophomore Regan Fiascone (ME) notedthat “the ability to work in groups, theunderstanding of how to conduct experi-ments, and generally a hard work ethic,”are crucial to any career path.

Students also reiterated the importanceof interdisciplinary learning in preparingfor non-engineering careers, which thePratt curriculum has incorporated moreduring recent years. Sophomore Max Fine(BME) recognized Duke’s strong non-engineering departments in the TrinityCollege of Arts & Sciences as a majoradvantage for Duke engineers, replying,“Part of the reason why I chose Duke isthat the arts and sciences programs arealso top-notch here, giving a student greatopportunities in both areas.”

The Pratt curriculum provides students

with the skills to succeed in both tradi-tional and nontraditional engineeringfields. In addition to the knowledgegained from introductory and advancedcourses, problem sets, and laboratoryexperiments and reports, Duke engi-neers develop practical skills to manageassignments, meet deadlines and workindividually as well as collaboratively toproduce results.

There were a record number ofemployers at this year’s TechConnect, thePratt School of Engineering’s fall careerfair. Across all industries, engineers atDuke are being recognized now morethan ever for their talents and education,demonstrating the success of the evolvingengineering curriculum and diversity ofstudent backgrounds and interests.

Healthcare Technology Laboratory thispast summer helped me delve deeper intothe complex interplay of social, politicaland economic factors surrounding the lifeof medical equipment in LMICs.Maneuvering a vast dataset comprisingthousands of pieces of medical equipmentfrom Honduras, Rwanda and Cambodiafrom the past five years and being able toidentify the variety of influential factorsleading to medical equipment failure wastruly remarkable. In many cases, some-thing as helpful and innocuous as a medical donation can turn out to be oneof the most significant potentiators of thismedical equipment dilemma.

Medical equipment donations frominternational organizations are given withgood intentions, but their influence mayseem beyond belief. Typical complex, delicate, leading-edge medical devices are

not built to handle the widely varyingconditions across LMICs. As a result,broken probes, monitors and bottles arejust a few of the common component-based obstacles that put medical equip-ment out of commission. In addition,general lack of information about theseintricate machines makes repair nearlyimpossible in the field. Even if the know-how is present, parts and consumables areoften not available in their region. Theseissues have been shown to produce andincrease in the proportions of partiallyfunctional medical equipment within thefirst year after donation and the emer-gence of vast storage rooms of out-of-service equipment that takes away frompotential treatment rooms.

As the international committees andorganizations focus on policies to increaselocal accessibility and effective application

of medical equipment in LMICs, engi-neers must work to develop medical technologies for the majority in need. Asengineers at Duke, we are enabled withpowerful tools to truly make a long-lastingdifference in our fields. Getting involvedin immersive international programs is thefirst step to understanding first-hand thefull burden of medical equipment defi-ciencies. Lessons gained from experiencingthe highs and lows in LMICs will guideour future designs to incorporate robustsustainable materials combined with locally derived parts and supplies—thekey to helping alleviate the medical ten-sions in LMICs through the establishmentof a design platform conducive to long-term medical independence.

aking up one February morning to thesmell of ox manure and the cat thatsought refuge in my room that night, Iquickly realized I wasn’t going to class inHudson Hall today. Outside, bike bellsrang, dogs fought and thirty men from aneighboring village arrived in (and on) a rickety vehicle built only for eight.

Welcome to the village of Madra, asmall, lush farmland beside a river of some72 kilometers from the urban center ofUdaipur, Rajasthan, in India. Far fromthe bustling city, the lives people leadhere are simple and devoid of the stressesthat accompany urban lifestyle—or so itseems. On the surface, the essential infra-structure, such as homes, schools andclinics appears in place. But much of this façade simply shrouds the severeinstabilities within. School meals beingtaken by teachers, bribery of supervisingauthorities and misrepresentation of thepeople in political settings are just a fewof the recurring issues. While conductingresearch in the nearby village of KukadaKheda, I realized these problems weremagnified and compounded by the lack of water, medication and adequatetransportation.

While exploring the villages, I visitedthe government clinics that served the villages surrounding Madra. In additionto being unreliably open and under-staffed, these medical facilities were filledwith broken-down or partially functionalequipment and the premises were coveredin medical waste. Single-use devices andquestionably disinfected needles beingreused multiple times were a commonsight in the village clinics. During mytime in India, I noticed a common set offour factors contributing to the develop-

ment and continuance of the observedmedical breakdown.

First, a general lack of transportationmakes it impossible to bring equipmenthundreds of kilometers from the city tothe remote villages. Second, the existinginfrastructure in villages is not adequateto operate the necessary medical equip-ment due to sporadic power outages,overheating of light fixtures and otherfactors. Third, a lack of training and qual-ification of the medical staff to properlyuse and repair equipment leads to the useof partially functional equipment. Andlast but not least, a lack of funds at themedical facility makes it difficult toobtain new equipment without the gener-ous donations of charities and non-governmental organizations.

After my time in Udaipur, I set forth tobetter understand these trends in medicalequipment usage on an internationalscale. We always hear of groundbreakingmedical technologies being developedaround the world, yet the improvementin health status of many low-incomenations seems marginal at best.

According to a 2012 WHO publica-tion1 on local production and technologytransfer to increase access to medicaldevices,

“Despite various international efforts,agreements and commitments to promote transfer of technologies toLMICs [Low-/Middle- IncomeCountries], in many sectors suchtransfers are not occurring at a pacerapid enough to support countries toachieve their development objectives.”

Nimmi Ramanujam, Professor ofBiomedical Engineering andGlobal Health at DukeUniversity, directs the Tissue

Optical Spectroscopy Laboratory and theCenter for Global Women’s HealthTechnologies (GWHT). The Center aimsto provide stimulating multidisciplinaryand multicultural experiences to motivateDuke’s young women and men to utilizescience and technology to tackle globalchallenges in women’s health. The educa-tional curriculum of the GWHT is centered on courses that begin with the bedside to bench and culminate with thebench to bedside philosophy. The Centerprovides research and educational oppor-tunities for students of all levels, while alsooffering undergraduate fellowships andindependent studies.

Dr. Ramanujam’s research efforts focuson developing a new generation of tech-nologies to address women’s health prob-lems, regardless of geography. Ramanujamindicated, “Women are overrepresented intwo groups with the greatest unmet healthcare needs: the aging and the poor. In fact,70 percent of the 1.4 billion people livingin poverty worldwide are women. We needto make women of the world healthier.”

Ramanujam believes this is possiblethrough engineering innovative health caretechnologies and through practical andinspiring engineering education.

In the process of researching and designing innovative solutions to healthproblems, Ramanujam first tries to under-stand the economic, social and politicalcharacteristics of low-resource regions tounderstand why most Western solutionsaren’t sustainable in such settings. Theseconsiderations are crucial to generating the

lasting social and global health impactsthrough innovations in the Center forGlobal Women’s Health Technologies.

“We have to empower people by engag-ing them in their health and education,”said Ramanujam, whose work throughGWHT attempts to achieve this goal byproviding sustainable solutions to relevantproblems.

For example, her laboratory has devel-oped a novel optical tool for cervical cancerscreening. The system is compact and low-cost with the form-factor of a tamponand can potentially be administered for cervical cancer screening through self-administration with assistance from a com-munity health worker. It’s Ramanujam’shope to use the optical system to make cervical cancer screening more accessible tocommunity clinics—particuarly communi-ties that are resource limited.

Ramanujam is also in interested in having the engineering students at Dukelead STEM educational activities in low-resource communities that are orient-ed toward practical knowledge that canimprove self-esteem and promote econom-ic empowerment, particularly in commu-nities where women are historically notrepresented in the engineering workforce.She has collaborations with local andinternational educational organizations tomake STEM education accessible throughthe process of engineering design.

One Drop at a TimeEngineering Solutions

in El Salvador

By Amy Xiong

Nestled in the outskirts of San JoseVillanueva, El Salvador, is a small villageof 280 residents, which until last summerfaced extensive water shortages. Due to alack of accessible and dependable waterpipes from the main city, the villagedepended on water rations. Villagers hadtwo options: walking for 30 minutesthrough a steep and rocky pass to thenearest river—flowing with dirty, murkywater—or paying for running water thatonly lasted for 15 to 30 minutes a week.

This village is Palomar, the site of aDuke Engineers for InternationalDevelopment (DEID) project this pastsummer. DEID is an on-campus organi-zation that allows undergraduates inter-ested in engineering to apply what they

learn in the classroom to create solutionsfor real problems across the globe.

Water scarcity is one of the largestissues currently facing low-incomenations. In El Salvador, access to cleanwater is a major concern, aggravated bythe lack of municipal wastewater treat-ment. Wastewater can be dumped direct-ly into rivers and lakes, rendering thesewaters unsafe, unusable and undrinkable.The climate is also responsible for waterscarcity during the dry seasons.

This summer, a group of Duke under-graduate students traveled to Palomarafter two semesters’ worth of planningand designing to implement their ownsolution—a water tank with a rain catch-ment system, a filtration system and a

rier prevented much further interaction.”The team had six weeks for the project,

so work had to be completed efficiently.Students took on a range of physicallydemanding tasks, such as mixing con-crete, and made crucial decisions aboutthe design when problems arose. Theirwork site was next to a community build-ing, where the team set up the unantici-pated rain catchment system using a gut-ter that led water into the tank through apipe. Once in the tank, the water hadtwo directions it could flow—either outof the tank when it became too full ordown a slope to the washing stations.Used water from the stations then madeits way to a retention pond even furtherdown the slope.

The completion of the water tankmeant that the village no longer faced thekind of water scarcity that previouslyplagued its residents. For the Duke stu-dents, finding that the tank had com-pletely filled up with rainwater after onlya few days was one of the most rewardingparts of their experience. Staring into16,000 liters of clean rainwater that wasavailable for use because of their efforts,the team realized what kind of hope theyhad created for the village.

In the typical spirit of engineering, aproject never truly ends because it cannever stop being improved. It should beno surprise, then, that this coming sum-mer, DEID will be visiting Palomar for athird time to improve the tank by adding

washing station. This was DEID’s secondproject in the area, the first being a pedes-trian footbridge built in the 2012. DuringDEID’s first trip, the prominent concernfor improved access to water prompted asecond trip back with a solution in hand.

Throughout the school year, studentson the design teams met once a week tobrainstorm, make calculations and drawout plans for the tank and washing sta-tion (the rain catchment system was anunanticipated part of the project thatwasn’t even considered until the teamwas at the project site). Applying theirknowledge from engineering coursessuch as EGR201: Mechanics of Solids,the teams worked with Professor DavidSchaad and other Duke faculty membersto make assumptions about the topogra-phy and design different models, keepingfield engineering to a minimum.

After this design process, several students flew down to San Salvador aspart of the travel team and physicallyparticipated in its implementation. Afterlanding, the team rode into San JoseVillanueva, where they stayed during the

project. Abumpy 20-minute ride inthe back of apick-up truck toget to Palomar

became routine for the students. Alsoroutine were bucket showers; althoughthe house they lived in had runningwater, the team usually returned so latethat this water had already been shut off.

One of DEID’s goals is to encouragecommunity participation with the studentproject. In Palomar, students were wel-comed by friendly locals who taught themSpanish, sold them traditional breakfastand helped them build their structures.Daniela Radvak, a DEID member whowas on the traveling team, said, “Almosteverywhere we went, we were met withfriendliness—even when the language bar-

these student-run organizations. Creating an ecosystem for innovation

and entrepreneurship is another goal ofthe campaign, one that it hopes toachieve in two main ways. First, plans arein the works for an experiential certificatein Innovation and Entrepreneurship(I&E) open to all Duke undergraduates.This entails coursework focused on ideageneration, innovation management, andbusiness skills, which would support stu-dents interested in turning an idea into asuccessful business venture or better pre-pare them to do so in the future. Secondly,the funds from the campaign willimprove Pratt’s business incubator,DUhatch, to provide Duke students withbetter opportunities to pursue their entrepreneurial goals.

One of the most powerful ways theuniversity prepares students for their

futures, whether they pursue a graduatedegree or join the workforce, is by pro-viding undergraduates with research experience prior to graduation. Pratt doesthis through programs such as the PrattResearch Fellows Program or the NAEGrand Challenge Scholars Program.These faculty-mentored research pro-grams allow students to focus theirresearch on a specific real-world problem.Funding provided by the campaign willhelp sustain and improve these programsby continuing to bring the best faculty tocampus to work with undergraduates aswell as support their operation.

Research programs are not the onlyway Pratt students will be able to haveone-on-one relationships with facultymembers that will help them addressissues outside of the classroom and labo-ratory. Bass Connections, a new initiative

launched through the Duke Forwardcampaign, seeks to put together teamscomposed of faculty as well as graduate,professional, undergraduate and doctoralstudents from different disciplines towork toward collaborative solutions toproblems in global health, education andhuman development, and other thematicareas. In this way, Pratt students followproblem-focused educational pathways,learn from the diverse perspectives ofother students and develop close relationships with faculty.

The Duke Forward campaign is aneffort by the university to improve theopportunities provided to both studentsand faculty as a way to improve the university as a whole.

he Duke Forward campaign is a university-wide effort that will end inJune 2017. It aims to raise $3.25 billion that, as the name suggests, willbe used to move Duke forward. Thecampaign will help the Pratt Schoolof Engineering bring the very best faculty and students to the universityand provide them with opportunitiesto put their talent to use.

The funds from the campaign willallow Pratt—and Duke—to become

more competitive in attracting the bestfaculty to the university. By providingbetter startup packages and more oppor-tunities for research and innovation, theDuke Forward campaign will allow Prattto convince some of the most talentedfaculty in the country that Duke is thebest place for them to pursue their inter-ests. The money itself will not be the onlyway to achieve this goal, as Duke will alsoprovide prospective faculty with some ofthe brightest graduate students in thecountry–something every faculty memberknows is very important to their own academic interests.

Duke is committed to need-blindadmissions; some of the most talentedstudents in the nation would be unable to

come to Duke without scholarships andfellowships. Need-based financial aidexpenditures have skyrocketed during thepast eight years with undergraduate aidrising from $43 million in 2004-05 tonearly $93 million in 2011-12. So itcomes as no surprise that keeping up withthe cost of financial aid is a dauntingtask. Accordingly, some of the funds fromthe Duke Forward campaign will be usedto continue bringing the very best stu-dents to the university through fellowships and financial aid.

However, the enrollment of top stu-dents is not what made Duke the institu-tion it is today. Rather, it is providingthem with rigorous coursework and dis-tinctive experiential learning opportuni-ties that allow them to learn in the classroom as well as apply that knowledgeto solve real-world problems.

Duke creates this environment throughthe many student organizations thatundergraduates and graduates can join,including the Robotics Team, DukeEngineers for International Development,Engineering World Health, the Eco-Marathon team and many more. Theseorganizations require discretionary fund-ing, like gifts to the Annual Fund, whichcount in the campaign. These funds canbe used to help students travel to partici-pate in competitions or purchase labequipment, among other things. Thus,the money raised by the Duke Forwardcampaign will be used in part to support

What does this 50th Anniversary Commemoration mean to you?People refer to me as a trailblazer, but I don’t think of myself asthat. I think that nothing happens by accident. There was a pur-pose for me coming to Duke in 1964 and also being back thisweekend. I don’t think of myself as doing anything special, butbeing in the right place at the right time. But it does certainlyrequire working hard in order to take advantage of the opportu-nity. Back then we knew that we could not fail because we werethe first class of African-Americans at Pratt, and the second classat Duke, and the future for other deserving Blacks depended onour success. If we failed it would cause a problem for others coming behind us, so we were determined to succeed not just for ourselves but to pave the way for others.

It’s emotional and also exciting to return. It’s just tremendousseeing how things have changed, starting from three of us andnow so many who are finding their way to Pratt today. I’m incred-ibly excited and enthusiastic, and a big part of that is just beingaround young people with such intelligence and drive. You allcould have taken the easy way out, but you chose a difficult pathbecause you have a vision, you are driven and you want to accom-plish something special. And so that is exciting to me. Being hereto be a resource for students is what I consider my role now.

What has changed most for Duke engineers since 1964? Physically,the engineering campus has changed a lot. When I was here itwas just a big red building and that was it. In terms of diversity,there were very few women students in the engineering programand of course only three African-Americans. The need to trainengineers from diverse backgrounds, especially those from under-represented communities and those who will inform and directthe future of engineering globally, is great. We’re in a global environment now, which is a tremendous change. When I look atDukeEngage, for example, I see there are so many opportunitiesfor students to make a difference worldwide.

What’s changed industry-wise for engineers? When I was an engineer at Pratt, you would go into design orconstruction, but now engineers go into medicine, consulting,Wall Street, medicine… you name it. This is because the curricu-lum teaches you how to think and solve problems, and you canapply that training to so many other areas. Students today haveso many opportunities in front of them; they just need to “thinkoutside the box,” explore every avenue available to them andalign their interests with their skills in engineering to decide whatpath they want to take.

You have had a full and exciting career since your time at Duke.What’s next?I officially retired at the end of last year, but I still work as a consultant for IBG Construction Services LLC, Atlanta, transi-tioning out of the role of president and CEO. I’m most lookingforward to really helping minority businesses grow, succeed andpass on to the next generation. It’s about having a legacy andbuilding wealth in our country and our community, and we still have a lot of work to do. Businesses that are related to engineering and/or construction are a focus area for me.

I find that there are very often programs and seminars thatprovide advice for companies on how to be successful. They maybe consultants with finance backgrounds or attorneys, but it’svery seldom that I find advisors that have actually built a businessin the industry and understand the business in addition to thetechnical side. I really want to be a resource to companies that aregrowing. I have associates who are in my same place in life, retiring but have much knowledge and experience, who reallywant to help. We are forming a group of people who will beresources to help businesses and individuals grow, particularly inminority and global communities.

inmemory The Pratt School of Engineering has come a long way in 75 years! Thiscoming September we will gather to celebrate the school’s accomplishments since its found-ing, which have resulted in its becoming one of the top engineering schools in the countrytoday—recognized for its spirit of collaboration and interdisciplinary research, for engagingstudents in hands-on education focused on addressing societal challenges, for outstandingprograms in areas ranging from biomedical engineering to metamaterials to data analytics toaeroelasticity, and much more.

At the conclusion of our fall Board of Visitors (BoV) meeting, I left the Duke campusfilled with pride. I always leave our meetings impressed with all that is Duke Engineering:the motivated and ambitious students, the premier faculty who are conducting research thatwill truly change the world, the dedicated and forward-thinking administration and staff.But this meeting left me, and I suspect the entire BoV, with an added sense of excitementabout the future of the school.

First, we engaged in discussion led by Dean Tom Katsouleas about Pratt’s strategic priori-ties for the next five years. The final plan was created with broad input from departmentchairs, faculty, staff and students, as well as the BoV, and truly reflects our shared vision forDuke Engineering’s educational, research and outreach programs. Our board is currentlyworking to redesign its committee structure to reflect the dean’s priorities, and we look for-ward to contributing to the advancement of the school over the next five years and beyond.You can read more about the plan at pratt.duke.edu/about/strategic-priorities.

We also reviewed several of the school’s, and the BoV’s, accomplish-ments. We were particularly pleased that the first-ever Vest Scholar hasbeen named. As you may recall from my letter last year, the VestScholarship allows the international graduate student to come to Dukefor a year to study and conduct research relating to one of the NAE’sGrand Challenges (vestscholars.org). Eight other top-level engineeringschools have joined Duke in offering Vest Scholarships, and there isimmense pride at Duke and on the BoV for having launched this pro-gram—in fact, the scholarship was created out of a brainstorming sessionin a BoV committee meeting. The Duke scholarship will be funded ini-tially thanks to generous contributions from each member of theInternational Committee.

In another sign of Pratt’s growing global presence, we learned aboutthe new Center for Global Women’s Health Technologies, which will

leverage Duke’s expertise in biomedical engineering and global health to solve pressing issuesin international women’s health, and to provide students with the training they need to makea difference. Led by Professor Nimmi Ramanujam, this is the first center of its kind and willaddress critical health needs in under-developed countries.

We also celebrated the birthday and philanthropy of Walter Coulter, a remarkable entrepre-neur and humanitarian who funded Coulter grants at a few select biomedical research institu-tions across the country. The Duke-Coulter Foundation Translational Partnership, which wasendowed with $20 million in 2011, is providing the seed money for a bumper crop of break-throughs in biomedical technology, including 26 projects and six start-up companies to date.

With successes like those, it is no wonder Duke Engineering is a major force in theUniversity’s Innovation and Entrepreneurship initiative. The BoV I&E committee will hold itssecond annual entrepreneurship mentoring dinner in the spring of 2014, and many memberswith entrepreneurship experience are planning to provide individual mentorship to students.

It’s clear that great things are happening at Pratt, and the Board of Visitors is honored to be apart of it. Our next 75 years promise to be even more exciting than the first!

From the BoV President

I always leave our meetingsimpressed with all that is DukeEngineering: the motivated andambitious students, the premier

faculty who are conducting researchthat will truly change the world, the

This issue of DukEngineer celebrating our school’s 75th anniversary provides a goodopportunity to reflect on the growth I’ve seen here over nearly a quarter-centuryas a development officer for the school.

In particular, it is always good to step back and see the growth in dollars, number ofdonors and alumni participation in the Engineering Annual Fund, as illustrated in thecharts below. It’s been 24 years since I started working with many of you on this, andI am pleased to inform you that our Annual Fund continues to break records.

Specifically, this past year your gifts to the Engineering Annual Fund carried theSchool to a new record total in excess of $3.4 million! For those of you who willremember, back in 1990 we were raising a little more than $500,000 for theEngineering Annual Fund.

This year-after-year success has beenincredibly important to our school. Asmost of you know, the Annual Fund pro-vides the “unrestricted” funds that are soessential to the School’s operating budget.

These dollars help improve our teaching laboratories and our classrooms, providing ahigher-quality learning environment for our students. The cost from operations and

maintenance of these excellent facilities also comesfrom the Annual Fund. The Annual Fund helps usattract the very best faculty to Duke in teaching andresearch. And, it helps us offer our undergraduates thekind of rich, hands-on research experiences andextracurricular activities that make them very attractivecandidates for jobs, internships and graduate school—giving them the best possible preparation for the future.

Obviously the great support of our alumni, parents,friends, faculty and senior students are key to this suc-cess, but equally responsible are the untiring efforts ofPam Hanson, director of the Annual Fund, and KimDavis, Annual Fund project coordinator. It is the workand energy from these two individuals that facilitatesthe success our school has had over the years.

Looking ahead, we continue to have that lofty goalof achieving 50 percent participation from our engi-neering alumni for the Annual Fund in our 2014-2015 anniversary year (last year, our alumni partici-

pation rate remained at 40 percent). To reach this goal, we hope all past donors willcontinue their support for the school as we encourage new donors to join in.

It would be a thrill for me to be able to announce to all of you that in our 75th yearas a school—and my 25th year here—we have attained 50 percent participation fromour alumni in the Engineering Annual Fund. I look forward to giving you a positivereport next year!

Annual Fund Makes History Again

“Can we announce 50 percent participation from ouralumni in the Annual Fund in our 75th anniversary year?”

Letter from EAC President

In this issue of DukEngineer you read about some amazingopportunities that engineering students have at Duke. Iwould like to let you know how the Engineering AlumniAssociation contributes to these opportunities and the inno-vation, creativity and growth happening on campus today.

The Engineering Alumni Council (EAC) represents thebroader Engineering Alumni Association (EAA) and con-sists of Pratt graduate volunteers and development and stu-dent representatives. We bring a variety of experiences toour activities in support of the Pratt School of Engineeringand are fortunate to return to campus at least four times peryear to connect with the school and each other in supportof the EAA’s mission. We are organized into committeesthat direct and implement our activities from year to year.Local outreach focuses through students and alumni whileworldwide efforts work through our Distinguished Alumniand Service Awards. But no matter our location, we areunited by our commitment to each other and our schooland are inspired by today’s students.

Fellow alumni, have you ever wondered why we send you anotice each summer requesting your annual engineering duespayment?I would like to share a few (fun?) facts with you.

• The Pratt School of Engineering has more than 9,000alumni, but only 15 percent pay annual dues to theEAA.

• The primary income source for the EAC is dues.• The EAC is financially independent from other Duke

organizations, including the Duke AlumniAssociation and the Engineering Annual Fund. Thisindependence ensures that our money stays withinthe Pratt community and goes toward supporting ourmission as an alumni organization.

• The EAC has prioritized spending based on threecore activities:

– supporting extracurricular student projects

– recognizing outstanding alumni

– helping engineering alumni stay engaged• Some years we can only fund 30 to 40 percent of stu-

dent project requests.

• All alumni can pay their engineering dues and annualfund donations online at gifts.duke.edu/pratt.

• Each year the EAC reads proposals, listens to presen-tations and allocates money to enterprising studentgroups. We help teams attend competitions or pur-chase materials, but cannot fund every worthy activi-ty to the extent we desire. What we consistently canprovide—and always do—is our dedication and will-ingness to share ideas and experiences.

Hopefully now you see why we need your dues paymentsand how easy it is to contribute.

We are also working on additional sources of funding byapplying for—and receiving—grants. We also search outindividual and corporate involvement and develop relation-ships within the broader Duke community to improve ourreach and opportunities.

To keep connected with the school and each other, weuse Facebook, LinkedIn and other social media. We cansupport each other, on and off the Durham campus,through many avenues, such as the Distinguished Alumnusand Distinguished Young Alumnus Awards. We wouldappreciate more suggestions; all we need is a name and astarting point of reference.

And we’re always recruiting, seeking alumni willing to trav-el to Durham three to four times a year to join the EAC. Ifyou are interested or want more information, visit the Prattalumni website or send me an email. And for those of youstill enjoying your time in the Gothic Wonderland, I hopethat you will reflect back on your experiences, remember howyour alumni family has tried to give back to you and becomeimpassioned to keep connected.

I am honored to serve as your EAC President this year andhope that our activities have encouraged you to get or stayinvolved. And don’t forget our annual Engineering AwardsBanquet is on April 5, 2014, at the Washington Duke Inn.We will be honoring our Distinguished Alumni Award,Service winners and our outstanding Pratt faculty, and there’salways room for one more. I hope to see you there.

Warmest regards,

bold for five years of consecutive giving. For those who graduated lessthan five years ago, their names will also be in bold if they have giveneach year since graduation. Finally, to further recognize consecutive giv-ing over the years, we are placing the number of years you have support-ed the School without a lapse in parenthesis next to your name. We willupdate the list each year to continue recognizing our loyal alumni.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

Chemical Engineer: “They laughed when I started to make a new type ofdynamite. But when I dropped it theyexploded.”

—DukEngineer 1946. . .

Salesman: “This slide rule is somethingyou’ll really need. It will do halfyour work for you.”

Up-and-coming freshman engineer: “Fine,I’ll take two.”

—DukEngineer 1961. . .

An engineer was discovered by his wife onenight standing over his baby’s crib. Silentlyshe watched him. As he stood lookingdown at the sleeping infant, she saw in hisface a mixture of emotions—rapture,doubt, admiration, despair, ecstasy,incredulity. Touched and wondering atthis unusual parental attitude and theconflicting emotions, the wife, with eyesglistening, slipped her arms around him.

“A penny for your thoughts,” she said in atremulous voice.

He blurted them out, “For the life of me, Ican’t see how anybody can make a criblike that for three forty-nine.”

—DukEngineer 1947. . .

Overheard in the EE lab:Tony: “Roy grab this lead. Feel

anything?”Roy: “No.”Tony: “Then watch out for the other

one, it’s carrying 22,000 volts.” —DukEngineer 1959

EE: “I know all about electricity. A politically minded ion hears that there isgoing to be an electron, so he goes tothe poles and volts.”

—DukEngineer 1961. . .

Student: “Could you help me with this problem?”

Prof: “I could but I don’t think it wouldbe quite right.”

Student: “Well, go ahead and take a shotat it anyway.”

—DukEngineer 1971. . .

Any person who claims that it is impos-sible to reach absolute zero hasn’t takenone of Doc’s thermo quizzes lately.

—DukEngineer 1956

A Duke student arrived at the pearlygates, where St. Peter asked who he was.When told he was a business student,St. Peter said “Go to the Devil.” Sometime later another student arrived, andupon being asked who he was, repliedhe was an English major. He was told togo to Hell. The third Duke man arrivedat the pearly gates with his slide rule.When asked who he was, he replied,“I’m an engineer.” Whereupon St. Petersaid, “Come in, son, you’ve beenthrough Hell already.”

—DukEngineer 1955. . .

. . .If you don’t think these aregood…come around to the office andread the ones we couldn’t print.

—DukEngineer 1952
