Ethics & 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 & 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.
