VideoBachelor of Engineering (B.E.)
The B.E. is a professional degree program accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET (111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012; ph: 1-410-347-7700).
Completion of the B.E. requires a minimum of 9 courses beyond the A.B. and generally takes 1 to 3 terms of additional study, depending on the courses taken during the first 4 years. (Advanced standing on entry to Dartmouth may shorten the time required.)
Most add a fifth year to earn the B.E. (financial aid is available), but students may also plan ahead to finish a combined A.B./B.E. in four years.
At least 6 courses must have significant engineering design content. Required courses and electives include mathematics, basic science, engineering sciences, and engineering design.
Students may use these sample programs as models for designing their own programs.
