Dartmouth recently launched a fundraising initiative to expand BE financial aid, with the goal of raising a total of $35 million in endowed scholarships to guarantee loan-free financial support for students pursuing the BE in their fifth year.
Expanding financial aid allows all engineering students to pursue their passions, deepen their technical expertise, while fully engaging in the Dartmouth experience—without financial barriers or compromise.
To learn more about how to support BE financial aid at Thayer or contact Mark Dorgan, executive director of advancement, at mark.w.dorgan@dartmouth.edu or +1 (603) 646-1867.
In 2008, Dartmouth Engineering launched the first PhD Innovation Program in the nation. This program is a magnet for students who want the depth of a PhD degree from an engineering school recognized for world-class, high-impact research, but whose career aspirations lie in industry or entrepreneurship rather than academia.
"The PhD-I community makes Thayer so unique, so special, and it is the relationships I've built here that will enable me to hopefully make an outsized impact on the world."
—Chase A. Yakaboski Th'24, PhD Innovation Fellow
The PhD Innovation Program enhances Dartmouth Engineering's reputation as a destination for aspiring entrepreneurs. Your support for PhD Innovation fellowships helps us provide unique training, support, and resources to PhD students seeking to translate their research into commercial applications with real-world impact.

The Design Initiative at Dartmouth (DIAD) facilitates collaborative creativity at Dartmouth, using design thinking to bring together technology and the liberal arts, and empowering our community to uncover and address the most challenging problems.
DIAD is the hub of human-centered innovation at Dartmouth, catalyzing transformative integrative education and interdisciplinary research that empowers students and scholars to create solutions for a more just, ethical, and sustainable world. Our vision is to establish an endowed design program that enables Dartmouth to become recognized as a leader.

Dartmouth Engineering provides undergraduates with opportunities to engage in faculty-mentored, graduate-level research, scholarship, and projects outside the classroom.
"My undergraduate research pushed me beyond my comfort zone and challenged me in ways I had not imagined. I encourage all Thayer students to pursue this opportunity, as it offers a chance to learn, explore, and fully engage in the process of discovery."
—Hannah Ren '24
Approximately 60% of Thayer undergraduates, both Bachelor of Arts (AB) and Bachelor of Engineering (BE) students, take part in research as part of a course or within a graduate lab. Most research projects are collaborations that integrate one or more engineering disciplines with other sciences. Our long-term goal is to engage all undergraduate students in research activities, including those enrolled in the BE program.

Established in 2016, the Dartmouth Emerging Engineers (DEE) program aims to improve the experience of first-year Dartmouth students who enter with an interest in engineering. The program provides support and mentoring to ensure they gain a solid academic foundation before beginning engineering courses.
In the past decade, DEE has enhanced student success and has proved to be an important tool in helping us retain talented students who want to study engineering. Our vision is to provide a comprehensive program to fully engage and support students from the start of their undergraduate studies through to graduation.

"I give to the Thayer Annual Fund to ensure students have access to transformative experiences—from funding innovative student projects to professional development opportunities."
—Benton C. Routh '86 Th'86 Th'87
The Thayer Annual Fund makes an immediate difference in the life and learning of engineering students, helping us maintain excellent and innovative academic programs and provide support for students who need it most. Empower the next generation of engineers by making a gift to the Annual Fund. All gifts—of any size—truly make a difference.
