History of Tufts University

School of Engineering

The sixteen majors in the School of Engineering at Tufts were designed for collaborative, interdisciplinary thinkers and builders who like to get their hands a bit dirty. Engineers never work in isolation, and that is why we place a heavy value on collaboration and communication both within and across disciplines. We also believe that there is never one right way to do anything. Throughout their time at Tufts, students develop the skills to troubleshoot and problem solve.

In the School of Engineering, we focus on:

Project-Based and Collaborative Engineering Education

Socially-Conscious Engineering

Research in an Intimate Environment

Close-Knit Community

Innovative Spaces

Emai Lai: (Making) My Tufts Story

My name is Emai Lai, and I’m an engineering student double majoring in Human Factors Engineering and Film & Media Studies. While wrapping up my junior year, I made this video to highlight some of my favorite opportunities and experiences at Tufts. From designing websites to directing short films, I’ve loved collaborating on research and projects both in the engineering school and through the Film & Media Studies program. As I mention in my video, despite having multiple storylines or narratives, my Tufts story is ultimately a story of making, and it’s still in the making!

What is a Tufts Engineer?

A Blog by Kamar Godoy '22

"Since that first day, I have been thoroughly blown away by the mechanical engineering education I have been receiving. It seems every semester they find a way to surpass the new expectations I have, now that I have some years under my belt. They have surpassed them so far that I am back to not having any expectations for what I will learn, do, and be on campus."

Filling the Internship Vacuum by Coding for Good Causes

With summer internships in computer science gone due to COVID-19, the Tufts community stepped up and created a new way of learning skills—and helping others

Step 1 for Engineering Students

A Blog by Lily Fullford '23

"This is the essence of the EN1 classes. It helps engineers discover the things that excite them about Tufts. I know for certain now after only three weeks of classes, that I want to be in the school of Engineering."

Engineering Your Application

A Blog by Admissions

"The important thing is that regardless of your exposure, in your application, there is some evidence of not only your budding engineering interest but also your fit for our Tufts engineering community."
