Engineer Across Disciplines
With vibrant research exploring fields from power-aware computing, nano- and opto-electronics, and photonics to information theory, machine learning, and robotics and control systems, there is something for everyone in our electrical engineering program. Our faculty members work with colleagues in the School of Medicine and the School of Arts and Sciences—and collaborate across departments in the School of Engineering—focusing on strategic research areas such as human health and bioengineering, intelligent systems, and the interactions between technology and people.
Choose Your Area of Study
Forget everything you've heard about engineering programs that limit you to a narrow path of study or offer only large lecture-hall courses. We do things differently at Tufts. In our electrical engineering program, you’ll join small classes and immerse yourself in cutting-edge, interdisciplinary research led by innovative faculty. Earn your master’s in electrical engineering with a focus on any of these research areas:
- Control, energy systems, and robotics
- Electro-optical materials and renewable energy
- Integrated circuits and VLSI
- Microfabrication, nanotechnology, and sensors
- Networks and information theory
- Signal and image
