Overview
The Biomedical Engineering Technology program has been designed to meet the need for qualified professionals caused by the merger between the biomedical equipment industry and the engineering and scientific disciplines. These collaborations have created beneficial innovations for both health care and society and require the industry to meet the challenge of offering a range of quality products. Artificial organs, prostheses and medical instruments wouldn’t exist without biomedical engineering.
Providing an optimum balance between theory and hands-on labs, this engineering program will cover various principles in the design of medical equipment, rehabilitation and health improvement devices. Among them will be:
- Electronics
- Microcontrollers
- Computers
- Engineering
- Chemical
- Biology
- Medicine
The technical problem-solving skills you’ll gain will prepare you for a challenging career.
Co-op Option
The co-op option will allow you to gain hands-on experience while you complete three co-op work terms as an employee in the field. This experience not only allows you to put classroom learning into practice but will also provide valuable contacts for your future career.
To participate in this co-op option, you must complete an application process in the second semester. If academically qualified, you may be admitted to the co-op program.
When you graduate, your diploma will highlight the co-op credential.
