DescriptionLearn how to apply engineering principles and design to medicine and biology for healthcare purposes in Biomedical Engineering. You'll start by building a foundation in biomechanics and biomaterials, cellular and molecular bioengineering, biomedical systems and signals, or biomedical informatics before specializing in third year.

As a Biomedical Engineering student, you’ll take a series of core courses aimed at building a solid foundation in engineering, biology, math, chemistry, and design. In your third year of study, you’ll have the opportunity to customize your degree to your interests by specializing in one of four streams:

  • Biomechanics and biomaterials
  • Cellular and molecular bioengineering
  • Biomedical systems and signals
  • Biomedical informatics
