Mechanical Engineering is like tofu; mix it with something else and it becomes very exciting. At Tufts we like to mix Mechanical Engineering with all sorts of disciplines, and we pride ourselves with the many unique aspects to our program.

One is the degree of personal interaction we have with our students. Our doors are always open, and we are always there to provide support, to answer questions, to offer career guidance, or to simply chat. We take personal mentorship seriously, and our alums always tell us how important this is to them.

Another is that there is no "average" ME student. Every student graduates with a designer degree, uniquely suited to their interests and the skills. Be it drama, foreign relations, business, sustainable energy, materials processing, robots on Mars, music, biomaterials, human factors, or even studio art – we find ways to support your unique interests and to start you towards a successful career.
