Today, mechanical engineers are involved with just about every engineered product that we use in today’s world— transportation systems, electronics and computers, energy systems, biomedical devices, robots, and much more.
Here at Tufts, we have embraced this diversity along with interdisciplinary education and research. Our faculty is versed in mechanics, thermal and fluid sciences, materials, acoustics, and system dynamics and control – but we are involved in research in sustainable design, energy, mechatronics and robotics, biomechanical systems, human factors, and even musical instrument design.
While we are practice-oriented in our teaching, we draw on the rich intellectual environment here at Tufts to understand the broader issues and opportunities associated with the work of a 21st-century engineer. At Tufts, our goal is to educate engineering leaders. Join us as we design the future.
