About the course
Advances that improve the human experience would not be possible without the creative problem-solving skills of mechanical engineers. Today, mechanical engineers are involved in a wide range of industry applications, from robotics and automated manufacturing equipment to laser-processing technologies. Mechanical engineers invent solutions through their understanding of mechanics, materials, design, and science. And, while Tufts understands that time in the classroom is invaluable, what mechanical engineering students and faculty enjoy most is digging into new research projects that can range from applied mechanics to thermal-fluid sciences, system controls, design, and materials fabrication.Students in the mechanical engineering department at Tufts are often found working on collaborative or independent study in any of the 15 research facilities in Anderson Hall or the Bray Laboratory. The mechanical engineering labs include a fully equipped fabrication facility with manual, computer-controlled, and rapid prototyping equipment. Undergraduates work alongside graduate students and faculty in specialized labs focused on acoustics, microelectrical-mechanical systems (MEMS), semiconductor manufacturing, materials characterization, and thermal processing. Many students participate in educational and research projects conducted under the auspices of the Center for Engineering Education and Outreach. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
