<p>How is Dartmouth's undergrag engineering?</p>
<p>very weak</p>
<p>It is ABET-certified in Engineering Sciences. They also have a graduate program that grants up to the PhD degree, so in contrast with other small Engineering programs, you will not have the problem of running out of advanced courses. Of course it is not as hard-core and extensive as programs in MIT or Stanford. You should visit their website.</p>
<p>yeah i visited their website but i couldnt really get a feel of how good the department was...</p>
<p>Yes, you will not get COMPARATIVE information about Dartmouth's Engineering school from its website, i.e. how good it is vs. other Engineering schools.</p>
<p>What you will get is a list of courses, their descriptions, the tracks available in the program, the degrees and joint degrees offered, etc. You will then have to decide for yourself whether what you see matches what you are looking for.</p>
<p>There is no pretension that Thayer compares to MIT or Stanford (or Cornell or Princeton if you want to limit yourself to Ivy) in depth or breadth of professional training. On the other hand, if you are looking to study Engineering in the context of a flexible, liberal arts education, which could be the case if you entertain serious professional interests outside of Engineering (e.g. Management, Medicine or Law) while still wanting to receive an ABET-certified degree, then Thayer may be a good fit for you.</p>
<p>thanks, it sounds decent to me as im applying to a lot of the engineering schools you mentioned.</p>
<p>I'm an '05.<br>
I won't recommend Dartmouth to you if you want your terminal engineering degree to be a bachelor's. Otherwise, it is okay.</p>
<p>Agreed. Dartmouth is the most amazing school ever, but for someone who actually wants to do engineering at a place like Boeing, you'd do better to go to an actual engineering school. However, if you want to go to grad school or go into business/ medicine/ whatever, Dartmouth's liberal arts engineering will take you far.</p>
<p>This is what you can do with an engineering degree from Dartmouth:</p>
