In the fall of 2009, the Tufts School of Engineering approved the Engineering Education Minor program. The Engineering Education minor provides students with hands-on teaching experience through the Student Teacher Outreach Mentorship Program (STOMP). Engineering students participating in STOMP visit local K-12 classrooms once a week to facilitate hands-on engineering lessons, and gain a first-hand perspective on the challenges faced by educators today. 

The minor not only provides students with STOMP field experience, but also provides an educational foundation that will help them in their classroom visits, and influence their work.

Engineering students are encouraged to obtain an Engineering Education minor if they have:

This minor will be open to all Tufts engineering undergraduates in the 2010-2011 Academic Year.  Students are eligible for the minor if they take 5 credits, and participate in one field experience activity in the form of STOMP or an equivalent Education field course.  The 5 required credits are divided among the 3 categories of Build, Apply, and Integrate, as identified in table below.

If you are a Tufts Engineering student interested in the minor, please contact merredith.portsmore@tufts.edu  with questions.
