Master of Engineering Management
(M.E.M)
engineering.dartmouth.edu/graduate/mem/
The Master of Engineering Management (M.E.M.) program is a professional degree
program that combines engineering and management courses taught by faculty from
Thayer School and Tuck School of Business. Graduates of the program are engineers
who understand the business of technology.
CURRICULUM
The curriculum integrates engineering, mathematics, and core management courses.
Electives typically are engineering and management courses, but students may also
choose courses from Dartmouth’s other graduate science departments, Dartmouth
Medical School, The Dartmouth Institute, or Vermont Law School.
ADVISORS
A faculty advisor helps each student develop a program of study. Each program is
submitted to and approved by one of the M.E.M. co-directors during the student’s
first term of residence.
RESIDENCY
Students must be in residence for a minimum of 3 academic terms.
■ Students who hold an ABET-accredited B.S. degree in engineering (or its equivalent)
from a college other than Dartmouth generally require 4 terms.
■ Students who hold the Dartmouth A.B. in Engineering Sciences plus the Thayer
School B.E. can finish the M.E.M. program in 3 terms.
■ Students whose bachelor’s degree is NOT an ABET-accredited B.S. degree in
engineering (or its equivalent) may have to take additional coursework to complete
the M.E.M. degree.
NUMBER OF COURSES
The number of courses required depends on the student’s preparation. Students
entering the program from a college other than Dartmouth generally take 14 courses.
Dartmouth students, including dual-degree students who have taken the B.E. at
Thayer School, may count ENGS 93 (formerly 103) Statistical Methods in Engineering
toward the M.E.M. degree, even if it is taken as part of the A.B. and/or B.E. requirements.
Typically a holder of the Thayer School B.E. degree can complete the M.E.M.
degree with 13 courses beyond the B.E. degree. With the exception of ENGM 387,
four-course loads, for courses to be used in satisfaction of the M.E.M. requirements,
must be pre-approved by an M.E.M. Co-Director.
INTERNSHIPS
Students typically participate in an industry internship for ENGG 390 Master of
Engineering Management Project/Internship, usually in the summer term. Students
register for ENGG 390 in the term in which the work is done. A course fee applies.
