Biomedical engineers work to improve technological solutions to medical and surgical challenges. The program is highly interdisciplinary between the Schools of Engineering Science and Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology, with students learning from faculty from both schools and gaining a strong foundation of both engineering skills and biomedical expertise.This honours program leads to a bachelor of applied science degree (honours) with a biomedical engineering option. The program concerns engineering problems encountered in medical and surgical treatment, in rehabilitation procedures and assistive devices, in medical electronics, in biomedical imaging, and in biophotonics. Engineering science students develop skills in systems design with a high level of scientific knowledge. This demanding program is aimed at the superior student. The program produces well educated, innovative engineer/scientists with entrepreneurial skills and attitudes who are oriented to new technologies. Program entry is competitive. Students undertake a basic core of pure, applied and engineering sciences followed by studies in a specialized option. The honours BASc program may be completed in a total of nine academic terms plus a minimum of three co-op terms. ENSC courses emphasize learning, conceptualization, design and analysis. Built into the program are courses on social impacts of technology, finance, management, design methods and entrepreneurship intended to complement scientific studies. A special, integrated communications course completed throughout the program ensures that all graduates have the communication skills necessary to be effective engineers. Show less

The following core courses are required by the Engineering Science Honours program in Biomedical Engineering and cannot be substituted for "equivalent" courses in other areas without prior approval by the School. 'Equivalent' courses taken without prior approval will not be applied to graduation requirements. Students should consult an academic advisor within their program for details on obtaining permission.
