Nimble and Adaptable
Deeply immersed in both engineering technical work and the liberal arts, Tufts engineers are nimble and adaptable in- and outside of the classroom. Multidisciplinary learning is vital to understanding engineering issues in the context of the larger world. Our flexible engineering program challenges traditional curriculum restrictions by allowing engineers to choose a second major or a minor from either of our schools. Tufts engineers connect ideas from philosophy to mechatronics to create the engineer of the 21st century.
