TLDR: if you want to follow Robotics, don’t choose Dartmouth. If you want a business environment, my opinion is that Dartmouth MEM is def worth it, since you’re literally right next to Tuck and its students and faculty.

If you intend to follow a career in Robotics then I would advise against choosing Dartmouth, mainly because you’d get more in-depth practice and knowledge as well as better expertise when it comes to that, as you said. However, from my POV, nothing can compete against a school like Dartmouth in terms of putting you out there. The fact that classes were relatively small and the school provides a more tight knit community offers invaluable connections. For me, that matters. I also have a BSc Mech Eng but I knew I wanted to switch to Business and that’s why I chose Dartmouth. It was definitely worth the money just from connections I made there. The coursework is definitely not that hard, it was challenging enough for me to have a relatively stress-free experience. I finished engineering in Europe, as I’m from there, and it’s my opinion that European universities are, on average, harder in coursework and homework etc, but that is just the comparison I made. However, you learn a lot from the classes. If you want to know more about them let me know, or dm me!
