School of Engineering

The School of Engineering offers 8 ABET-accredited degrees and 15 majors in a collaborative, interdisciplinary learning environment.  The School of Engineering promotes project-based learning, the nurturing of leadership skills, and cultivation of creativity through innovative design and works closely with the School of Arts and Sciences.

Research in an Intimate Setting

The Tufts University School of Engineering blends resources of a top-tier research institution with the strengths of a small liberal arts college.  Grounded in interdisciplinary education and research, our students collaborate closely with faculty and peers in project-based work. Tufts engineering provides students with the tools to cultivate their passions academically and professionally in a dynamic and supportive environment.

Ethics and Innovation

We not only create but we ask how and why?  Each engineering major and minor promotes an ethical and interdisciplinary approach, including significant strength in the areas of human health, sustainability, and human/technology interface.  A melting pot of academic pursuits, talents, and points of view, the School of Engineering develops and distributes transformational new knowledge and technologies to provide holistic, significant impact on society.

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.

Benefits of Boston

Working closely with both faculty members and Career Services, our students acquire internships and career opportunities in various sectors and locations.  A tech hub, Boston is a progressive city known across the globe for its academic and professional opportunity.  About 80% of our engineers complete at least one internship and 60% conduct research within their 4 years.

State-of-the-Art Facilities

Tufts' School of Engineering is constantly working to ensure that our students have access to the best equipment and facilities available. Halligan Hall, the home of the Computer Science Department, has recently been renovated, and two new construction projects - 574 Boston Ave, which will host a brand new teaching and research facility, and the Science and Engineering Complex - are due to be opened in 2015 and 2017.
