Biomedical Engineering combines medical knowledge with engineering principles to improve health care and quality of life. You’ll focus on the modelling and design of biomedical systems to develop new technologies for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. With courses that cover biomechanics, physics, chemistry, and design, you’ll be trained as a generalist, helping you communicate across the many areas of expertise for this field. With 2 years of real-world co-op work experience and a major design project, you can apply your knowledge and explore career options, which range from creating new solutions for diabetic testing to designing athletic equipment.

Biomedical engineers work in fields such as: biomedical data analysis biomedical image analysis and pattern recognition medical device product design and manufacturing simulation and modeling of diseases and biological systems healthcare regulations design and engineering of sports equipment and testing research and development in medical devices and instrumentation As a graduate, you might work in a hospital, university research centre, industry as well as government and/or regulatory agencies.
