Research at Thayer School is advancing innovation in three focus areas:

Engineering at Dartmouth is non-departmental and most projects crosscut traditional engineering disciplines to address critical human needs. Current projects are searchable by focus area and by discipline.

Sample A.B./B.E. Program: Electrical Engineering

Students interested in electrical engineering have several options, including

electronics
signals and systems
photonics

The A.B. program below focuses on the fundamentals; 3 separate B.E. sample programs show how students might pursue these options.

Faculty advisors: Professors Garmire, Hansen, Hartov, Lotko, Odame, Streltsov, Sullivan, Trembly
