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.
