Bachelor of Applied Science in Biomedical Engineering

University of Waterloo

With technology playing an increasingly large role in today’s health industry, the world faces a demand for engineers who can understand, model, and design complex biomedical systems. We rely on these multi disciplinary engineers to bridge the gap between medicine and technology, and develop innovative solutions for our health related challenges. Design bionic limbs. Create laser guided surgical devices. Develop wearable tech to help athletes perform better. In Biomedical Engineering, you’ll use engineering know how to develop better ways to diagnose illnesses, treat health problems, and enhance health.You’ll study biomechanics, physics, chemistry, and design. With that broad knowledge, you’ll be able to collaborate with all kinds of different experts: biologists, medical practitioners, policy makers, and engineers, to name a few. You’ll also learn to model and design complex biomedical systemsand you’ll get plenty of hands on experience through two years of paid co op work terms, a fourth year design project.By the time you graduate, you’ll be ready to create tomorrow’s life saving and life enhancing innovations.
