从纳米机电系统到医疗设备的人体工程学，在塔夫茨（Tufts）受过教育的机械工程师创建并实施了运动系统。机械工程师发明，分析和制造机械零件和系统。学习在汽车，航空航天，运输，电力，供热和制冷以及机械等工程领域以及机器人技术，微型和纳米设备以及医疗设备等新兴领域中取得成功的工具。机械工程理学硕士学位课程为学生提供了机会，以增强他们的技术背景，以从事工程研究，开发和管理方面的成功专业职业。攻读机械工程硕士学位课程的研究生可以选择攻读学位或不硕士学位的理学硕士学位。我们的研究集中在开发智能系统和机器人上，这些机器
Our research concentrates on developing intelligent systems, robots that can help the elderly pick up their glasses or grab a tissue require a combination of automated control, actuators, and sensors. Our professors work with cognitive scientists to better understand how to get robots to think and assist people. In another lab, faculty use automation to increase safety, developing algorithms to help quad-copters accurately know where they are and ensure that planes can land safely. We research large systems, with robots such as the Nao or the Baxter, and can make very small systems in our nano-manufacturing facility, where we can fabricate arrays of very small microphones to better understand and control the acoustics in an airplane.
