<p>So I was wondering, how are the engineering classes at Dartmouth? Are they extremely challenging, not at all or somewhere in the middle? </p>
<p>And what jobs are open to the engineers post grad who chose not to stay the extra year for BE?</p>
<p>Answering your second question–
From what I’ve heard… after four years… you get a A.B or a B.A which is not recognized as a professional engineering degree for work… However it is good for those who wish to pursue masters right after their undergraduate degree… So it is better to stay on and do a B.E. if jobs are what you’re looking at and I’ve heard it is possible to complete the 5 yr B.E. in 4 yrs!!</p>
<p>Thanks! </p>
<p>You think it could be done in four years without significantly affecting social life?</p>
<p>I can’t say much about this because I don’t know a whole lot about the difficulty of Dartmouth’s engineering classes, but my cousin graduated with his masters in electrical engineering from Dartmouth 2 or 3 years ago. Since then, he’s gotten job offers from all over the country. From California to North Carolina to New York to Michigan. </p>
<p>So don’t worry about job placement out of Dartmouth. You ‘probably’ won’t be stuck in Hanover.</p>
<p>@ nocknock… I wouldnt know… as I myself am applying to Dartmouth rd 2013 fall… but Dartmouth itself says that a 5 yr B.E. “can” be completed in 4 yrs, but it will “restrict” the no. of minors you are allowed to take!!</p>
