Bachelor of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering (Honours)

University of Guelph

Biomedical Engineering is a field of engineering that deals with health and medicine. e.g.: electronic and mechanical devices used on biological materials, animals and humans, medical implants and instruments, ergonomics, bioinstrumentation, imaging and pharmacology. Graduates in Biomedical engineering are able to apply mathematical, scientific and engineering principles to a wide variety of fields and find employment across the private and public sectors of the health care industry. The program provides students with a common base of knowledge essential to engineering, and then allows them to select from a menu of electives to attain a degree of specialization in one of three areas, or to choose electives which broaden their general knowledge base. Elective concentrations are available in the areas of biomechanics biosignal processing and pharmaceuticals. The program is built around the concept of interdisciplinary application of engineering principles to health related problems.
