The School of Engineering at Tufts University fuses the intellectual and technological resources of a world-class research university with the strengths of a top-ranked liberal arts college. The result is a long list of success stories.
Take SeaDeep, a startup company based on Tufts technology that harnesses the advancements of artificial intelligence (AI) to greatly enhance underwater visibility. Or Ankur and Mari Sahu Assistant Professor Raja Sambasivan, who just received a prestigious CAREER Award from the US National Science Foundation (NSF) to fund his research on cloud-based systems and the tools needed to detect and diagnose issues in them. These and more exciting innovations are taking place just a few miles from the high-tech hubs of Boston and Cambridge. Alongside this exciting research happening at Tufts, you can study for degrees that will prepare you for success in your field.
These programmes include MS degrees in Bioengineering, Biomedical Engineering, Biophotonics, Chemical Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Cybersecurity and Public Policy, Data Science, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Management, Environmental Engineering Policy and Planning, Human Factors Engineering, Human-Robot Interaction, Innovation and Management, Materials Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Offshore Wind Energy Engineering, Software Systems Development, and Technology Management and Leadership.
Join any of these programmes to gain hands-on experience through interdisciplinary projects and work with world-renowned experts. One of them is Michael Hughes, the Ann and Peter Lambertus Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science. He also won an NSF CAREER Award for his work in machine learning and predictive modelling. His latest research seeks to improve the training and outcomes of predictive models relating to health. Currently, he aims to predict where opioid overdose events will occur and identify structural heart disease in an individual patient given an ultrasound imaging scan of their heart.

If you cannot attend on-campus programmes, you can join the online ones instead. The Master of Science (MS) in Computer Science, MS in Data Science, MS in Engineering Management, and MS in Technology Management and Leadership can be accessed from anywhere and at any time according to your schedule. Students looking for an online post-baccalaureate can choose between Computer Science or Data Science. Both subjects are also available as advanced certificates in addition to Human Factors and Medical Devices and Technology Management and Leadership.
But why stop at one engineering degree when you can earn two? The Dual Degree Engineering Programme lets you complete an MS in either Innovation & Management, Engineering Management, or Technology Management & Leadership, and an MS in your chosen engineering discipline. These two degrees can be earned at reduced cost.
Classes available to students in all engineering MS programmes let you hone another crucial skill, business savviness, through training in entrepreneurship and engineering management from Tufts Gordon Institute. These classes are great ways to further your professional leadership and innovation.

If you want to gain valuable work experience in the industry while pursuing your degree, you can join the new co-op programme for MS students in on-campus programs. “We want our students to learn about real-world engineering problems and how to solve them professionally. Co-ops, by embedding students in companies, where they work alongside employees, are successful paths to both goals,” says Kyongbum Lee, dean of Tufts School of Engineering and Karol Family Professor. “Students become subject matter experts while learning crucial leadership skills that will stand them in good stead wherever they decide to go after graduation.”
A similar working and learning approach worked well for Zachary Rummler, a recent alum who earned his master’s degree in computer science. “The master’s degree is going to open doors to me professionally … At my recent internship with New Hampshire-based Aclara, I had an opportunity to see first-hand the potential of smart metres that employ AI algorithms to monitor and improve energy efficiency and safety; the implications for modernising the country’s energy grid are exciting,” he says. “So I’m putting my computer science degree to work, I hope, in creating a greener and more sustainable planet.”
The new co-op programme for MS students builds off the success of Tufts School of Engineering’s undergraduate co-op programme. For student Vanessa Bellotti, her co-op at NVIDIA was a chance to explore new areas of interest and test her technical skills. “Although I have experience with building out machine learning workflows, I have not worked with retrieval-augmented generation, or RAG, a technique for enhancing AI accuracy and reliability,” she says. “By applying AI technologies in real-world scenarios, I came back to Tufts with invaluable insights and skills important to a future career.”
