The program consists of nine courses, of which five should be from the list of core courses. The remaining four electives can consist of any graduate-level engineering or science courses at Dartmouth.
One of the nine courses must include a term project or product that is sufficient for assessment of the MEng Learning Outcomes. This may be fulfilled by either a core or elective course within the student’s total of nine courses. There are several courses which meet this requirement.
As an on-campus MEng student, you will work with your faculty advisor to develop your program plan to fulfill the MEng requirements, which is approved by the MEng director and submitted to the graduate academic advising director during your first term enrolled in the degree program.
Please note: The information below reflects degree requirements, effective as of fall 2026.
| COURSE TYPE | REQUIRED NUMBER OF COURSES | COURSES |
|---|---|---|
| Core Courses | 5 courses | Choose five courses, from the following: ENGS 108: Applied Machine Learning or COSC 274: Machine Learning and Statistical Data Analysis* |
| Electives | 4 courses | Choose four courses, from the following: Engineering Elective*** Any graduate-level engineering sciences courses, including the design project elective options.
For a one-course research experience, students can elect ENGG 192: Independent or Group Study in Engineering Sciences.
Design Project Elective Students may take one of the following options to partially fulfill the two-course elective requirement. The appropriate option will depend on each student's prior experience and coursework since the two tracks require different prerequisites.
Science Elective**** |
| Total | 9 courses |
* ENGS 108, COSC 274, and QBS 108 have overlapping material, and only one may be taken for credit.
** COSC 175 and QBS 175 are equivalent courses. Only one may be taken for credit.
*** With the exception of ENGM 191: Product Design and Development, MEng students may not take ENGM courses for credit.
**** Electives from Dartmouth science departments outside of engineering require MEng director approval prior to enrollment. Typically this approval is granted through the MEng program plan.
One of the nine required courses (core or elective) must be a project course from this section.
