Degree Requirements
The Master of Engineering Management (M.E.M.) curriculum includes mathematics, engineering management, design, project leadership, and core topics of an M.B.A. program.
M.E.M. Courses
Applied Mathematics (2 courses)
- ENGS 103 Statistical Methods in Engineering
- ENGM 184 Introduction to Optimization Methods
Engineering Project/Design Sequence (2 courses)
Engineering Management Core (5 courses)
Engineering Management Electives (choose 1)
- ENGS 157 Chemical Process Design
- ENGS 171 Industrial Ecology
- ENGG 176 Design for Manufacturing
- ENGM 185 Topics in Manufacturing Design and Processes
- ENGM 186 Technology Project Management
- ENGM 188 Law, Technology, and Entrepreneurship
- ENGM 189 Topics in Engineering Management (includes 2 half-term courses)
Free electives (choose 3)
NOTE: The M.E.M. tuition covers 2 courses from Tuck School; extra tuition will be charged for a third Tuck course.
Typical Program—M.E.M. Only
The following is a typical program for a student with an ABET-accredited B.S. degree in engineering or its equivalent from a school other than Dartmouth. Students who do not hold an accredited degree may be required to take additional courses.
Fall
Winter
- ENGS 103 Statistical Methods in Engineering
- ENGM 179 Financial and Managerial Accounting
- Free elective
Spring
Summer
- ENGG 390 M.E.M. Project/Internship (Typically the project is accomplished within the context of an industry internship with the final presentation given in the fall term.)
Fall
- ENGG 177 Decision Making Under Risk and Uncertainty
- Engineering management elective
- Free elective

Typical Program—Combined B.E./M.E.M.
Dartmouth A.B. graduates who majored in Engineering Sciences will normally complete the B.E. degree before completing the M.E.M. degree. Since both A.B. and B.E. courses may be counted toward the M.E.M. degree, Dartmouth students typically complete the M.E.M. degree with 12 courses beyond the B.E. degree. The A.B. year would include scheduling two engineering sciences electives and planning carefully to complete the B.E. and M.E.M. in the 5th and 6th years.
B.E. Year
Fall
- ENGM 178 Technology Assessment
- ENGS 190 Engineering Design Methodology and Project Initiation (B.E. requirement)
- Engineering sciences elective
Winter
- ENGS 103 Statistical Methods in Engineering
- ENGS 290 Engineering Design Methodology and Project Completion (B.E. requirement)
- Engineering sciences elective
Spring
- Two engineering sciences electives
