The Biomedical Engineering program is unique in Canada due to its strong focus on the modeling and design of biomedical systems that will be used to develop new technologies and engineering solutions to health-related problems. The curriculum of this co-operative program will emphasize design and interdisciplinarity, and will incorporate biomedical content starting in the first year of enrollment and culminating in a fourth year biomedical design project course. The curriculum is geared towards three theme areas of bio-signals and imaging, bio-mechanics and sports engineering, and bio-devices.

The program’s objective is to graduate engineers with the technical skills required to model complex biomedical systems, interpret biomedical experimental results, and design and develop innovative technologies in close collaboration with the medical community. Graduates will be ideally suited to contribute directly to the Canadian biomedical and health economy, but with a solid, well-rounded education that will allow for a wide range of career possibilities.
