Integrated Biomedical Engineering and Health Sciences (IBEHS) is a new innovative program that integrates Engineering with the Health Sciences in order to produce graduates with both specialized training and an interdisciplinary breadth across many areas of study.  It will be the only program of this type that represents a true integration of engineering and a world class faculty of health sciences.  Students enter into a common first year that includes foundational engineering courses in math, physics and chemistry, a health sciences course in cellular and molecular biology and a full-year Health Solutions Design Projects course.  This project-based course will deliver engineering principles and apply them towards biomedical design projects.  Beginning in Level II, students pursue one of 2 possible degrees, either a Bachelor of Engineering and Biomedical Engineering (B.Eng.BME) degree or an Honours Bachelor of Health Sciences (Hons. B.H.Sc.) in Health, Engineering Science and Entrepreneurship.

The Honours B.H.Sc. degree in Health, Engineering Science and Entrepreneurship (HESE) offered within the IBEHS program is an innovative option due to its heavily integrative focus in health, technology and entrepreneurship.  Over 5 years (including Level I IBEHS), students pursuing an Honours B.H.Sc. degree will primarily take courses that are either common to IBEHS (alongside the B.Eng.BME students) or courses specific to HESE that specialize in the creation of value through entrepreneurship within the biomedical and health sectors.  Similar to graduates of the B.Eng.BME degree, graduates are well-prepared for careers in the biomedical technology and health sectors, and could work alongside each other in different roles.  Additionally, they will be well equipped to pursue further studies in graduate research in engineering or health sciences, pursue a career as a health professional, or to create value by drawing on the entrepreneurship competencies to develop new private sector ventures.
