Only online Ivy League master’s in computer engineering aims to
prepare the next generation of engineering leaders and combat
talent shortage driven by the CHIPS Act
Dartmouth has partnered with Coursera, a leading online learning
platform, to launch a fully online Master of Engineering in
Computer Engineering (online MEng). The degree will cost $44,100,
making it more affordable than the on-campus program. This marks
the university’s first fully online degree and the first online Ivy
League master’s degree in this topic.
The online MEng aims to produce engineering leaders who can
advance emerging technologies, from nanotechnology and clean energy
to self-driving cars and AI. By 2030, the U.S. will require 418,000
engineers. With the CHIPS Act, the semiconductor industry, in
particular, could face an acute talent shortage, projecting 67,000
unfilled jobs by 2030. 26% of those are expected to be
master’s-level engineers.
Dartmouth’s world-renowned faculty will teach students how to
design, analyze, and build computing components, including sensors,
for intelligent systems. They’ll implement information-extracting
algorithms in specialized computer hardware and analyze data using
machine learning, signal processing, and computer vision. Key human
skills needed for management and leadership programs are integrated
throughout the curriculum.
“From virtual assistants to virtual reality, intelligent systems
are embedded in our everyday lives, and it is critical that
engineers in our world understand both the technology and the human
impact,” said Alexis Abramson, Dean of Thayer School of Engineering
at Dartmouth. “With this new online degree, our goal is to make
Dartmouth’s human-centered approach to engineering and high-impact
programs within reach of more students — no matter where they work
or live.”
To broaden access, the admissions committee will review online
MEng applications holistically, considering background, statement
of purpose, and even performance in online content, such as
Dartmouth’s C Programming with Linux Specialization on Coursera.
Applicants don’t need a bachelor’s degree in engineering but should
have knowledge in core areas, including mathematics, programming,
digital logic, and circuit fundamentals.
“We’re proud to expand our partnership with Dartmouth, which has
reached learners in over 180 countries,” said Marni Baker Stein,
Chief Content Officer of Coursera. “Amid a growing need for highly
skilled, visionary engineering leaders, students worldwide can earn
this Ivy League degree without upending their lives or careers.
This life-changing credential, coupled with new skills and a robust
professional network, can unlock doors for countless learners,
enabling them to reshape our technological future.”
To prepare students for today’s hybrid workforce, the program
balances global collaboration with self-guided learning — all
within an agile methodology. Asynchronous online courses are paired
with group projects that can be completed in two-week sprints to
model real-world environments. Dartmouth’s faculty and staff will
hold live sessions, staggered across time zones, to help students
workshop challenges and find collaborative solutions.
Nearly 100% of graduates from Dartmouth Engineering’s master’s
and Ph.D. programs secure employment within six months of
graduation, with a starting salary of $123,600. More than 25%
advance to C-suite positions within five to ten years. Alums become
leaders at top global companies, including Boeing, Intel, and
Google, while many found their own companies.
Coursera has expanded its degree portfolio to include more than
50 degrees from the world’s best universities, which currently
serve more than 18,000 students. Dartmouth’s new degree closely
follows recent announcements of other top institutions launching
degrees on Coursera, including the University of California,
Berkeley and several high-profile universities in India.
Applications for the online MEng are now open for the first
cohort, which will start in March 2024. To learn more, visit
