Women in Engineering at Tufts
Equity and Diversity in the School of Engineering
Diversity is one of the cornerstones of the educational mission of the School of Engineering (SOE), as well as of Tufts University as a whole. The SOE has a strong history and enduring commitment to increasing the number of women and underrepresented groups among its students and faculty. Women currently account for approximately 30%, 26%, and 18% of the undergraduate students, graduate students, and full-time faculty, respectively.
Women in Engineering at Tufts (WIE) Open House
Women in Engineering at Tufts is a daylong open house that offers prospective female engineering students an opportunity to meet female faculty, students, and alumnae from across the SOE and hear from them what makes Tufts a dynamic place to study engineering. Topics covered may include cross-disciplinary courses and research in areas as varied as edible optics, wind and solar power, bioinformatics, and soft bodied robots.
