The co-operative (co-op) & internship program offers engineering students 8, 12 & 16 months of paid, full-time on-the-job experience, to develop skills, build professional connections and gain confidence in their chosen discipline.
The Optional Specialization in Management Sciences (OSMS) focuses on engineering and operations management, operations research, finance and organizational behaviour and prepares students for engineering leadership.
The Accelerated Masters of Applied Science Pathway helps research-minded students, who have a minimum CGPA of A-, earn a Master of Applied Sciences up to one year earlier.
A is a professional designation for engineering graduates through Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO). Graduates can choose to pursue this license, subject to PEO requirements, because our program is accredited.
The first year transition program is designed to help students who may be struggling with the pace of university learning, have missed credits, or need to improve their academic standing. This program ensures that students have the tools and guidance they need to succeed and remain on track in their studies.
In first year, you鈥檒l learn engineering fundamentals, like calculus, physics and electric circuits. In the second and third years, you鈥檒l study topics such as digital systems, biomechanics, biomaterials, bioinformatics, fluid mechanics, control systems and bio-robotics, and anatomy.
In the fourth year, in addition to advanced courses such as tissue engineering, radiation therapy, human-computer interaction and biomedical systems modelling, you鈥檒l address a real-world challenge through a team capstone design project and present your solution to peers and experts
You鈥檒l also have the opportunity to gain valuable industry experience through our popular co-operative internship program, and to build a working prototype through our esteemed fourth-year design project.
Between coursework and practical experience, our bachelor of engineering in biomedical engineering will give you the skills you need to embark on a rewarding career dedicated to improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
Biomedical engineers have been at the forefront of the technological advancements in healthcare and assisting the medical community. Being one of the first undergraduate biomedical engineering programs in Canada, and geographically benefitting from the surrounding world-class research-intensive hospitals, the program is continuing to produce high-caliber biomedical engineers and leaders of tomorrow. With the new and emerging challenges we face with an aging population and the ever-increasing need for promoting the well-being of society, become a part of the drive through a solid curriculum in the early years, a great variety of elective specialized courses in the fourth year, well-equipped multi-disciplinary labs, student clubs, and an optional co-op/internship program.
