Favorite Classes

Exposure to liberal arts courses was a big reason why I chose to go to Tufts. I really enjoyed creative writing, Europe since 1815, and in my senior spring I took a class on engineering education which was superb – we sort of took a meta look at how the engineering curriculum over the last four years had worked or not worked for us and was really interesting. I took a class on the design of the built environment, and we studied bridges. For our final project we made a huge (over 6ft long) truss bridge out of pink insulating foam.

 

Why Tufts Engineering?

I can only speak to my experience as a mechanical engineer, but I really loved the mechE community at Tufts. There were about 50 of us, and over the course of four years we became a pretty tight knit community. I don’t think you get that at bigger engineering schools.
