The new graduate program in Biomedical Engineering is a full-time, three-session, professional program that confers a Master of Engineering degree.  It consists of coursework (3.5 FCE) and an internship (1.5 FCE) in the third session.  Potential applicants to this program could be recent graduates from a broad range of undergraduate engineering programs such as chemical, material science, electrical and mechanical, and in particular those with a minor in biomedical engineering, bioengineering or the equivalent or seasoned professional who want to enter the medical device industry.  The curriculum focuses on the development and design of biomedical devices with a significant emphasis on biomedical sciences, biomedical engineering technology, commercialization and entrepreneurship.  The program includes an internship in which students will apply the knowledge gained in the first two sessions to develop a prototype for a device to address an important problem in healthcare in the biomedical industry or in academic laboratories.
