AB candidates who also plan to pursue the BE and are interested in specific engineering fields can use these sample programs as models when designing their own programs. 

At Dartmouth, completion of the BE requires a minimum of 9 courses beyond the Bachelor of Arts (AB). At least 6 courses must have significant engineering design content. Required courses and electives include mathematics, basic science, engineering sciences, and engineering design.

The BE degree program seeks to produce engineers who:

  • Apply interdisciplinary breadth to professional activities;
  • Demonstrate innovation;
  • Practice effective teamwork and written and verbal communication;
  • Initiate the process of lifelong learning; and
  • Serve society at large.
