Program Description Students will design bionic limbs. Create laser-guided surgical devices. Enhance cancer-imaging systems. Develop wearable tech that keeps populations healthy, improves athletic performance. In Biomedical Engineering, students will use engineering know-how to develop better ways to diagnose illnesses, treat health problems, and enhance health. Students will study biomechanics, physics, chemistry, and design. With that broad knowledge, students will be able to collaborate with all kinds of different experts: biologists, medical practitioners, policy makers, and engineers, to name a few. Students will also learn to model and design complex biomedical systems—and they will get plenty of hands-on experience through two years of paid co-op work terms, plus a fourth-year design project. By the time students graduate, they will be ready to create tomorrow’s life-saving and life-enhancing innovative technologies.
