Biomedical and Mechanical Engineering is a Bachelor of Engineering programme offered by Carleton University's Faculty of Engineering and Design, applying mechanical engineering principles to healthcare technology. The programme covers biofluid mechanics, vibration analysis, biomechanics and biomaterials, preparing students to design technologies such as bionic limbs and assistive devices that restore mobility, and engineered tissues used in regenerative medicine, including emerging methods like 3D bioprinting. Students gain hands-on experience in specialized facilities including the Biomedical Engineering Lab, the BioMechatronics Lab, the Solid Mechanics Lab and the Microfabrication Facility, and can take prerequisite courses relevant to Ontario medical school applications. A paid Co-op option offers work terms of 4, 6, 8, 12 or 16 months, giving students workplace experience alongside their studies. Graduates are prepared for careers designing mechanical systems and devices that support healing, mobility and recovery in healthcare settings.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to the Bachelor of Engineering requires the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent, with a minimum of six Grade 12 U or M courses. Four of these six courses must be the required 4U prerequisites: Advanced Functions, Chemistry, and Physics, plus one of Calculus and Vectors (recommended), Biology, or Earth and Space Science. A 4U course in English or French is recommended but not required for admission. The overall admission average and the prerequisite-course average are set each year on a program-by-program basis, and meeting the stated minimum only establishes eligibility for consideration; because places are limited, the cut-off average for a given intake year is typically well above the minimum. Applicants seeking direct entry to the co-op option must meet the required overall and prerequisite-course cut-off averages, be registered full-time in the program, and be eligible to work in Canada.
