Students gain knowledge of the science and engineering behind biomedical and health care applications and practices. Students also learn to design systems such as cardiac monitors, artificial hearts, micro- and nano- sensors, contact lenses, wheel chairs and artificial tendons. This program is aimed at developing graduates with strong problem solving and communication skills, who can think critically and independently. Students will study electronic and mechanical engineering fundamentals, including biomedical electronics and nano-sensors, as well as a significant component of basic sciences, including biology, anatomy and physiology.
