The E-Team is composed of upper-class engineering students eager to help incoming first-year students learn the ropes of engineering at Duke.
The team’s mission is to assist first-year engineering students in their transition to Duke by creating an immediate network of support with engineering students who can answer questions, share experiences and offer advice. Below are the 25-26 E-Team members!
