Student Life

Students in the Mechanical Engineering Design for Fabrication class test their cranes on the TTC patio.

Why Engineering?

Tufts School of Engineering is 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 emphasize collaboration and communication both within and across disciplines. We also believe that there is not one "right" way to do something. Throughout their academic experience, students develop the skills to troubleshoot and problem solve - because, at Tufts, we believe there is not one "right" way to be an innovator.

You’ll work with world-renowned engineering faculty at the top of their disciplines. Combine classroom teaching and hands-on learning to earn a degree that will prepare you for success. Take advantage of Tufts’ dedicated career and networking resources, explore the Tufts campus just a few miles from the high-tech hubs of Boston and Cambridge, and get ready for the next step in your academic and professional journey.

Student Organizations

With more than 350 organizations to choose from, you will surely be able to join fellow students to pursue a shared interest or passion. There is something for everyone! The Office for Campus Life (OCL) supports student organizations and works with students to plan and coordinate social, cultural, and education programs. There are many opportunities for both undergraduates and graduate students to get involved.
