Recommendations for getting involved in Tufts
Research is the best way to learn. Please do not hesitate to approach professors to chat about it. We love to speak to you! When to start? Whenever you are interested in it. I have very successful examples of research even with high-school students.
Research is fun. Do not believe? Come by and see it yourself.
Fun Facts
Something you wish students knew about Tufts Engineering
If you like making things, if you are curious how things work, you are a potential engineer. If you do not know exactly which area to choose, take Mechanical Engineering. It includes almost everything.
Advice for prospective students
Drop by and chat around with as many students and professors as you can. It would probably be the best investment of your time for the next 4 years!
