Engineering Sciences Major
Dartmouth AB candidates who major in engineering sciences learn to synthesize concepts from many fields as well as specialize in a chosen area. They also can join multidisciplinary research teams and collaborate with faculty and graduate students.
Engineering Sciences Major—Modified
Students can create a cross-disciplinary modified engineering major by taking six courses in engineering sciences and four courses in the modifying area plus the necessary prerequisites and culminating experience.
Biomedical Engineering Sciences Major
The biomedical engineering sciences major is offered to students interested in medical school. Faculty from Thayer School and Geisel School of Medicine jointly advise the research projects.
Engineering Physics Major
Students who love both engineering and physics can pursue an engineering physics major offered jointly by the Department of Engineering Sciences and the Department of Physics and Astronomy.
Another Major Modified w/ Engineering Sciences
Any Dartmouth major can be modified with engineering sciences (with the necessary approvals).
Another Major Modified w/ Human-Centered Design
Any Dartmouth major can be modified with the minor in human-centered design (with the necessary approvals).
Declare a Major
- Meet with your engineering faculty advisor to develop a plan of study prior to declaring your engineering major.
- Use the Dartworks system to plan and submit your declaration.
- Select the correct major:
• Engineering = ENGS
• Engineering Physics with Engineering as the culminating = ENPH
• Biomedical Engineering = EBIO
• Modified majors = Modified A - Do NOT put any distributive courses on your planner that don't pertain directly to your major.
• As an example, the standard major should only have ENGS 21 through your Culminating Experience listed on the planner.
• Please list both your culminating in the notes, as well as the name of the engineering faculty advisor you consulted to develop this plan.
• If you put any distributive courses on your planner that don't pertain directly to your major, your major declaration will be denied. - To make changes to an approved plan, please refer to the Dartworks Student User Guide.
If you have aditional questions, contact Jenna Wheeler, located in MacLean 103.
Transfer Credits
No more than two transfer courses may be used for credit in the major.
Academic Standing
Satisfactory completion of the major requires a grade point average of 2.0 in the courses suitable for satisfying the major.
