The Biomedical Mechanical Engineering program graduates engineers proficient in the biomedical applications of mechanical engineering. The curriculum covers the design of medical devices such as artificial hearts, implants and prostheses, along with bio-compatible material development, medical robotics, biomechanics and rehabilitation engineering. Offered by the Faculty of Engineering, the program totals 132 units and leads to a Bachelor of Applied Science (BASc), with course tables organized by year of study progressing from first-year foundations through specialized upper-year biomedical content. Its structure parallels the regular Mechanical Engineering program, replacing eight courses with biomedically-oriented content while retaining the core mechanical engineering foundations, preparing graduates for careers in both biomedical and conventional engineering fields. The program is offered in English and French, with co-operative education options available, letting students combine paid work terms with their studies.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants need English 4U (ENG4U) or Français 4U (FRA4U), Advanced Functions 4U (MHF4U), Calculus and Vectors 4U (MCV4U), Chemistry 4U (SCH4U), and Physics 4U (SPH4U); Biomedical Mechanical Engineering additionally requires Biology 4U (SBI4U). The published minimum admission average is 80%, with a minimum combined average of 70% required across the science and mathematics prerequisite courses specifically. This line applies uniformly across Biomedical Mechanical, Chemical, Civil, and Electrical Engineering and their combined-degree variants with BSc Computing Technology, as well as the civil-engineering structural/geotechnical and environmental/water-resources options, since the Faculty of Engineering publishes one admission line per base discipline regardless of the option chosen within it. Meeting the minimum does not guarantee admission in a competitive cycle.
