MEng: Electrical/Computer Engineering On-Campus

Electrical/computer engineering leverages the fundamental principles surrounding electricity to advance today’s emerging technologies ranging from semiconductor devices to advanced communication networks, from self-powered sensors to electric cars, from wearable devices to cognitive medical imaging, and from autonomous vehicles to smart cities. Students may focus on a single specialization within electrical and computer engineering, or build an individualized curriculum from a combination of complementary subfields within the track.

Electives

 4 courses

Choose four (4) courses, from the following:

Engineering*
Any graduate-level engineering sciences course.


Design Project
Students enrolled in the design project elective before Fall 2024 may take the following three-course sequence to partially fulfill the four-course elective requirement.
ENGM 191: Product Design and Development
ENGG 199.1: MEng Design Project Initiation
ENGG 199.11 MEng Design Project Completion


Students enrolled in the design project elective starting in Fall 2024 may take one of the following options to partially fulfill the four-course elective requirement. The appropriate option will depend on each student’s prior experience and coursework since the two tracks require different prerequisites.
Option 1 (1 course)

  • ENGM 191: Product Design and Development

Option 2 (2 courses)

  • ENGS 190: Engineering Design and Methodology Project Initiation
  • ENGS 290: Engineering Design Methodology and Project Completion

Science*
Any graduate-level science course.

* Students may choose electives from any graduate-level engineering or science courses offered at Dartmouth. The courses listed here are for recommended students who seek additional further depth of study in their chosen track.
