Biomedical Engineering

Graduates of the Biomedical Engineering program will:

1. 1. Actively and effectively engage in engineering practice to develop biomedical instrumentation and solutions to health-related challenges, or in the pursuit of related fields.
   2. Be liberally informed engineers who are leaders within industry and the community.
   3. Solve real-world problems and challenges related to medical applications, with creativity, innovation and professional responsibility.
   4. Serve as engineering ambassadors in the community by conforming to the highest ethical and professional standards, continuing professional skill development and actively participating in the learning and development of those they are supervising and their peers.

Biomedical Engineering degrees require General Education courses, where students select one course from each Category for a total of 12 General Education courses. Three categories comprise courses that are required for the Major (ENGE 1000, CHEM 2050, MATH 2214).

The first 1.5 years of the Program requires Major courses that strengthen student background in Calculus, Computer Science, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Fundamentals in Engineering, including Introduction to Engineering Systems and Professional Practice, and Linear Circuits.

Year 2 semester 2 and Year 3 focus on developing technical prowess in areas of Biomechanics, Signals, Cell and Molecular Biology, Physiology, Bioengineering Thermodynamics, Electromagnetics, Transport Phenomena, Biomedical Imaging and Simulation, Biomedical Instrumentation and Device Fabrication. Students also undertake a one year project course where they work in teams to design and develop a novel Engineering solution to a real-world problem.

Year 4 focuses on specialization by choice of electives in advanced areas, such as Optics, Biomedical Signal Processing, Biosensors, Neuroscience and Cancer Biology.
