S C H O O L O F E N G I N E E R I N G >School of <strong>Engineering</strong>Mission St<strong>at</strong>ementThe <strong>Tufts</strong> University School of <strong>Engineering</strong> isuniquely positioned to educ<strong>at</strong>e the technologicalleaders of tomorrow. We offer the best of a liberalarts college <strong>at</strong>mosphere coupled with the intellectual<strong>and</strong> technological resources of a world-classresearch university. Our goals are to educ<strong>at</strong>e engineerscommitted to the innov<strong>at</strong>ive <strong>and</strong> ethicalapplic<strong>at</strong>ion of technology in the solution of societalproblems, <strong>and</strong> to be a leader among peer institutionsin targeted areas of interdisciplinary research<strong>and</strong> educ<strong>at</strong>ion th<strong>at</strong> impact the well-being <strong>and</strong> sustainabilityof society.Grounded in our commitment to engineeringeduc<strong>at</strong>ion innov<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>and</strong> interdisciplinary research,we offer our students a rich educ<strong>at</strong>ional experienceth<strong>at</strong> combines intellectual rigor <strong>and</strong> disciplinarybreadth in an intim<strong>at</strong>e, student-centered environment.The many women among our engineeringstudent body <strong>and</strong> faculty <strong>at</strong>test to <strong>Tufts</strong><strong>Engineering</strong>’s welcoming clim<strong>at</strong>e for traditionallyunderrepresented groups <strong>and</strong> offer a unique perspectiveto our students. We value our close collabor<strong>at</strong>ionswith the School of <strong>Arts</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Sciences</strong> <strong>and</strong>the University’s extraordinary collection of excellentProfessional Schools th<strong>at</strong> cre<strong>at</strong>e a wealth of educ<strong>at</strong>ional<strong>and</strong> research opportunities.engineering, bachelor of science in engineering science,bachelor of science in engineering, bachelor ofscience in engineering physics, <strong>and</strong> bachelor of science.The programs of study leading to these degreesdiffer in structure <strong>and</strong> the manner in which they areadministered. Departments administer professionaldegrees in programs accredited by the <strong>Engineering</strong>Accredit<strong>at</strong>ion Commission (EAC) or the ComputingAccredit<strong>at</strong>ion Commission (CAC) of theAccredit<strong>at</strong>ion Board for <strong>Engineering</strong> <strong>and</strong> Technology(ABET) for students who wish to be recognizedas practicing professionals, especially thosewho wish to become registered professional engineers.Whereas the professional degree programsare the most structured, the bachelor of sciencedegree program is the most flexible. Through consult<strong>at</strong>ionwith an individual faculty member in theSchool of <strong>Engineering</strong>, students may pursue anindividualized program of study leading to thebachelor of science degree. The bachelor of sciencein engineering is administered by engineeringdepartments <strong>and</strong> allows for some departure fromthe curriculum for the professional degree. TheSchool of <strong>Engineering</strong>, in cooper<strong>at</strong>ion with theDepartment of Physics, offers a bachelor of sciencein engineering physics. This program combines amastery of the fundamental principles of physicswith the professional aspects of engineering.School of <strong>Engineering</strong>Inform<strong>at</strong>ionUndergradu<strong>at</strong>e ProgramsThe School of <strong>Engineering</strong> offers courses leadingto the bachelor of science in five departments ofengineering (biomedical, chemical <strong>and</strong> biological,civil <strong>and</strong> environmental, electrical <strong>and</strong> computer,<strong>and</strong> mechanical), as well as in the computer sciencedepartment. Students may also enroll in special programsin the School of <strong>Engineering</strong> in prepar<strong>at</strong>ionfor careers in architecture, medicine, dentistry, veterinarymedicine, law, public health, human factors,urban planning, <strong>and</strong> biomedical engineering. Theschool offers twelve bachelor of science degrees:bachelor of science in biomedical engineering,chemical engineering, civil engineering, computerengineering, computer science, electrical engineering,environmental engineering, <strong>and</strong> mechanical34
