George B. Duke Engineering and Information Technologies Building

Discover, create and challenge yourself while getting hands-on experience and inspiration from your professors. You won’t just design it. You’ll build it and test it and refine it when you study:

  • Make and test your own prototypes
  • Cut, turn, weld and shape metal in a state-of-the-art machine shop
  • 3D print prototypes from a variety of materials in our makerspace
  • Test your design’s aerodynamics in a wind tunnel
  • Tackle real-world problems with industry professionals
  • Produce and test virtual reality and augmented reality applications
  • Set up an industrial automation
  • Design and build web and mobile applications
  • Simulate cybersecurity attacks and defenses
  • Laser engrave a passion project
  • Build a working car with your friends

You’ll get plenty of inspiration in the new George B. Duke Engineering and Information Technologies Building, which was built just for you. You’ll apply what you’ve learned in the classroom in one of the many labs. Read more about these unique spaces and what you will do in them. 

With the hands-on experiences you’ll get – and the University of Pittsburgh degree you’ll earn – you’ll be prepared to make a bold impact. Read what some of our engineering alumni say about their Pitt-Bradford experience.
