Wouldn’t that make all those D-plan quarters a moot point as far as internships go? Because companies usually don’t take on the engineering interns until they have taken a few actual engineering classes, and the Dartmouth students won’t take any until their 5th year<<




No. The number of courses varies by what sort of engineering one wishes to study, but the Engineering majors take plenty of Engineering courses in the first four years, See sample schedules:

[Bachelor of Arts (A.B.)](Dartmouth Engineering | AB)

The get even more if they continue to the 5-year B.E. program (which can be completed in 4 years if the kid shows up with enough of the right AP credit in hand).
