| Description: | The 20th century has witnessed the emergence of biology and medicine as disciplines of technological innovation. Scientific and technological advances in biomedicine, as well as ongoing debates about Canada's national health care system have generated strong social and economic interests in the development of biomedical technologies.
Electrical and Biomedical Engineering is a fast-growing field that involves the application of Electrical Engineering and technology to the solution of problems in medicine and biology. It bridges the historical separation between the biological/medical sciences and the engineering and physical sciences, thereby spanning interdisciplinary boundaries. |
