Dartmouth engineers are prepared for a wide array of careers after graduation. Equipped with both engineering expertise and "power skills" such as communication, leadership, and creative problem-solving, our graduates are uniquely positioned for leadership in any field.
Dartmouth Engineering's graduates are recruited by top multi-national companies and by local companies and alumni-founded start-ups in a variety of fields. While many continue to work as professional engineers, others transition into related careers as research scientists, technical advisors, or executives in technology-related companies.
Dartmouth Engineering alumni have lifelong access to engineering-specific Career Services. Graduates continue to have access to job information, networking opportunities, and career coaching, as well as connection to fellow alumni eager to connect you to opportunities within their own companies. Many graduates have started their own successful companies. They are a reminder that Dartmouth is more than a school. It's a community.
