Master of Engineering in Computer Engineering

Earn an Ivy League Master of Engineering (MEng) degree in Computer Engineering from anywhere in the world, online with Coursera

The MEng in Computer Engineering program is designed and delivered by the same world-class faculty who teach on campus at Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth. Dartmouth Engineering leverages Coursera’s online education platform to deliver the program curriculum, allowing online students to benefit from Coursera features such as interactive video transcription, in-course note taking, and seamless learning across multiple devices.

As a student, you can also expect live interaction with Dartmouth faculty including weekly live sessions. These interactions will be offered twice during each week, at different hours, to accommodate for different learner time zones. There will also be group work within the curriculum, as well as live office hours with faculty throughout your online experience.

Degrees on Coursera are powered by technology that lets you learn on your schedule and device of choice. Courses can be completed during commutes or other short periods of spare time. Courses include supplementary readings, video lectures, assignments, and discussion forums that help spark connections with your peers.

Inclusive excellence in engineering

Dartmouth is one of just seven leading national research universities working to transform higher education and to double the number of industry-ready engineers from historically underrepresented backgrounds across a wide range of engineering fields.

This commitment is reflected in strong outcomes for women across Dartmouth’s engineering programs. Women comprise a substantial share of enrollment in Dartmouth’s engineering master’s degree programs, well above national averages. Dartmouth was also one of the first major national universities to reach gender parity in 2016, and as recently as 2023, more than half of its undergraduate engineering degrees were awarded to women.
