I think the guy you described was one of my classmates. I also studied ME at Tufts and had an awesome time. The department isn’t large but there are a fair number of courses in different sub-specialties at both the grad and undergrad level, there are research opportunities for undergrads, and there are many professors who are in it at least as much for teaching and mentoring undergrads as for doing high quality research.

The school doesn’t go out of its way to let you co-op but I do know people who took a semester off to do it. Most people just take summer internships, though.
