Engineering Studies
Dartmouth offers the most dynamic engineering curriculum you can find. Right from the start you’ll experience hands-on learning as you solve real-world problems.
In our introductory "ENGS 21" course, you’ll team with other students to meet a real-life challenge, such as devising a way to conserve energy, easing life for people with physical disabilities, or helping children learn.
In our core courses you’ll master principles you can apply to all areas of engineering. You’ll delve into various fields — biomedical, materials science, and mechanical, to name a few. Throughout you’ll create innovative solutions to complicated challenges.
Engineering and the Liberal Arts
You’ll also take a full range of Dartmouth liberal arts courses, from the arts and humanities to the social and physical sciences. In fact, half your classes will be in non-engineering subjects, so you can deepen your understanding of the world — and prepare to make a difference in it.
Versatile Degrees
With your Bachelor of Arts (A.B.) degree, you’ll have the analytical, creative, and communications skills you’ll need to succeed and lead in engineering — or any other field.
You can also earn a Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) degree by taking additional engineering courses. Some students complete both the A.B. and B.E. in four years. Others take a fifth year. Either way, need-based financial aid is available.
Foreign Study
Dartmouth is known for its many foreign-study programs. Engineers have two extra options — studying engineering at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand or Helmut Schmidt University in Hamburg, Germany.
Grand Palace and Temple of the Emerald Buddha, Bangkok
