Biomedical Mechanical Engineering

The biomedical mechanical engineering program aims to graduate engineers who have specialized in the biomedical engineering subfield of mechanical engineering. This subfield includes: 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 courses that focus on biomedical subjects.
The scope of this program is broad, and this provides its graduates with a wide range of career choices not only in the biomedical field, but also in conventional mechanical engineering.
