How do you get certified to work in Bray Labs?

# data[].attributes.body
You may be trained through taking a course that certifies you, or you can book appointments for specific trainings. Here's Bray's Website: https://sites.tufts.edu/bray/working/

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Bray's resources are primarily available to the Tufts Mechanical Engineering community. We support students from other departments when capacity allows it and at the discretion of Bray staff. Priority is given to students, faculty, and staff working on Mechanical Engineering and Human Factors Engineering coursework and research projects. The machine shop experiences especially high demand during project deadlines, reading period, and finals. During these busy times, we prioritize support for ME and HFE courses to ensure students can complete their projects. If you are in another department, we may ask you to return at a less busy time.

The safety quiz is required for all users to work at Bray and gain access to green zone hand tools.

Training is required for the use of yellow and red zone equipment. Appointments can be made for these trainings.

Please review the shop safety rules to ensure a safe environment for all users.

When can students start to join clubs and design teams?

# data[].attributes.body
There are no pre-requisites to join any extracurricular activities, including professional clubs, or design teams. Around mid-Fall Semester, student clubs will start to have GIMs (General Interest Meetings) and follow-up with a more consistent schedule of club meetings. To know when GIMs are, students should be on the lookout for posters put up in various academic buildings. Social media pages of these clubs may be updated. And centralized university pages may be updated as well.

What's the curriculum for first year engineering students? And how do students know what to register for, for each of their semesters?

# data[].attributes.subject
What's the curriculum for first year engineering students? And how do students know what to register for, for each of their semesters?

# data[].attributes.body
In general, first year SoE students have a similar curriculum (English, Calculus, Natural Science, CS 10/ES 2, EN 1+3, HASS etc). This is so that students can declare a major in any one of the engineering departments after their first year, having already completed some of the general SoE requirements. For semesters after declaring a major in a particular engineering field, students should refer to their engineering degree sheet: https://students.tufts.edu/academic-advising-and-undergraduate-studies/engineering-degree-sheets. The engineering degree sheets were designed to provide a general sense of requirements students will have to complete for their specific major, even if a student may not have come in with any transfer or pre-matriculation credits. If your student came in with pre-matriculation credits, or has other majors/minors in addition to their primary major, then the order of the courses listed on the engineering degree sheet may have flexibility built-in with the guidance of an advisor in that department.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Tufts School of Engineering offers 16 programs of study leading to various Bachelors of Science. Shown below are degree sheets that detail the requirements for each degree.

Please consult the Second Majors and Minors pages for a list of available programs administered through the School of Arts and Sciences and the School of Engineering.

For questions regarding engineering degrees and majors, contact Jennifer Stephan, Dean of Academic Advising and Undergraduate Studies for the School of Engineering.

Please note: Students who would like to explore the possibility of using a degree sheet other than that of their anticipated graduation year should consult the policy.

Tufts does not offer a math placement exam, but instead takes pre-matriculation credits that have a high enough score for credit. If a student thinks that they have enough knowledge to move on in their math series, they should connect with the Math Department.

SoE students and students that are transferring into SoE have access to the SoE Newsletter. Unfortunately, parents do not have access to the SoE Newsletter, but students can share or forward the Newsletter to them.

Yes, you can have a pre-med track atop of your SoE Major. We have had numerous students that have successfully apply to medical school. If you want to connect on updated requirements on the medical school application, and seek advice on how to adjust your SoE curriculum accordingly, you should reach out to the Health Professional Advisors: https://students.tufts.edu/academic-advising-and-undergraduate-studies/health-professions/health-professions-advising-overview

When can I connect with my pre-major advisor?

# data[].attributes.body
Please refer to the Orientation Materials for the exact date. It is typical for students to be assigned of a pre-major advisor at the beginning of August, then given 2+ weeks to make an appointment with their pre-major advisor. These appointments should be made promptly to not only discuss course selection (and any other topics students would like to address), but it's also used to lift a student's hold on their account. The hold needs to be lifted so that students can access registration.
