Overview

BASc Biomedical Mechanical Engineering and BSc Computing Technology

The purpose of the Biomedical Mechanical Engineering program at UO is to graduate engineers proficient in the areas of biomedical engineering related to mechanical engineering. 

These include the design of medical devices such as artificial hearts, implants and prostheses, the development and selection of bio-compatible metallic and non-metallic materials for implants and medical equipment, robotics for medical applications, biomechanics and rehabilitation engineering. 

The program structure parallels that of the regular Mechanical Engineering program, replacing eight courses in the regular program with biomedically-oriented courses. 

This program has a broad scope, so that graduates may have a wide range of career choices, not only in the biomedical field but also in conventional mechanical engineering. 

Biomedical systems are among the most complex of mechanical systems; therefore, a strong and comprehensive education in standard mechanical engineering principles is provided, with emphasis on their application in biomedical systems.

This program is offered in English and in French

French courses are available in first year and almost all of second year. 

Most third and fourth year courses are offered in English only.

Upon completion of a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Mechanical Engineering, a student who completes the requirements specified below for 30 extra units will be eligible for a BSc in Computing Technology, as a second degree.

The remaining 132 units are from their engineering degree; students follow the engineering degree requirements and the Computing Technology degree requirements in parallel. 

It is not allowed to obtain the Computing Technology degree without also completing the corresponding engineering degree.

Co-operative education is available with this program.
