Master of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering

The Institute of Biomedical Engineering (BME) offers facilities for research in biomedical engineering and for three educational programs leading to master’s and doctoral degrees: the Master of Applied Science (MASc), Master of Engineering (MEng), and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).
Biomedical engineering is a multidisciplinary field that integrates engineering and biologymedicine. It uses methods, principles, and tools of engineering, physical sciences, and mathematics to solve problems in the medical and life sciences for the study of living systems; the enhancement and replacement of those systems; the design and construction of systems to measure basic physiological parameters; the development of instruments, materials, and techniques for biological and medical practice; and the development of artificial organs and other medical devices. By its nature, the majority of the institute’s work is interdisciplinary.​ The MEng in Biomedical Engineering program focuses on the design and commercialization of biomedical devices. Learners will have the opportunity to take on applied design challenges and meet the growing demands of this industry through coursework and hands-on practical experience.
