INSIDE OUT
A REAL YET RANDOM, PLAYFUL YET SERIOUS SPIN AROUND CAMPUS—AND JUST BEYOND
EXCOLLEGE HIGHLIGHT: INVESTING, PSYCHOLOGY, AND HUMAN BEHAVIOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP is
the most popular minor for students in the School of Engineering, and for many reasons. Learning new techniques in innovation and business help strengthen our engineering students’ interdisciplinary skills and intellectual curiosity. This ExCollege course fits perfectly in line with this thinking. Taught by a Tufts alum and trustee, students will learn the ins and outs of financial metrics and valuation tools, along with behavioral analysis and basic psychology, to better understand how and why people invest in the ways that they do.
NEW DEAN OF RESEARCH PROFESSOR Matthew Panzer was recently appointed as the
next Dean of Research for the School of Engineering. Professor Panzer serves as a tenured professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, and is now responsible for fostering collaboration between SOE departments, other Tufts institutions, and members of our broader community on engineering projects.
