Bachelor of Engineering [B.Eng.]
Biomedical Engineering Program Regular and Co-op (BME/BME:C)
School of Engineering, College of Physical and Engineering Science
Biomedical Engineering is a field of engineering that deals with health and medicine. (e.g.: electronic and mechanical devices
used on biological materials, animals and humans, medical implants and instruments, ergonomics, bioinstrumentation, imaging
and pharmacology). Graduates in Biomedical engineering are able to apply mathematical, scientific and engineering principles
to a wide variety of fields and find employment across the private and public sectors of the health care industry. The program
provides students with a common base of knowledge essential to engineering, and then allows them to select from a menu of
electives to attain a degree of specialization in one of three areas, or to choose electives which broaden their general knowledge
base. Elective concentrations are available in the areas of biomechanics; biosignal processing; and pharmaceuticals. The program
is built around the concept of interdisciplinary application of engineering principles to health related problems.
