How are engineers educated at Dartmouth?
The first step is the Engineering Sciences major, which is part of the Bachelor of Arts (A.B.) degree. Graduates are uncommonly well rounded, having fulfilled all Dartmouth undergraduate requirements in the humanities, social sciences, and a foreign language. The major itself emphasizes the application of engineering fundamentals to real-world problems; most core courses and many electives include labs or projects. We also offer modified engineering majors with other departments (computer science, chemistry, biology, environmental science, economics, studio art, and public policy), an Engineering Physics major jointly with the physics department, a minor in Engineering Sciences, and a minor in Materials Science (jointly with the physics and chemistry departments).
