| What it is | You study engineering and health sciences together, focusing on how biology and chemistry apply to medical devices, treatments, and health problems. Unlike a standard engineering program, you're embedded in health sciences from day one, and you'll do paid work terms in hospitals, biotech companies, or medical device firms. This suits people who want to solve real health challenges through technology but aren't sure yet whether they prefer the engineering or health science side. | You study how to design and build medical devices and equipment that help diagnose and treat disease. This blends biology and engineering, so you learn both how the human body works and how to create machines and systems that interact with it. The co-op stream lets you alternate between classroom study and paid work terms at hospitals, medical companies, or research labs, giving you real hands-on experience before you graduate. This program suits students who want to apply engineering skills to healthcare and prefer learning through workplace projects alongside their coursework. | This program combines engineering design with biology and medicine so you can solve health-care problems using technology and innovation. Unlike a standard biomedical engineering degree, it explicitly weaves in entrepreneurship and business thinking, preparing you to develop and bring new medical devices or health technologies to market. It suits people who want to build things that help patients and are interested in turning ideas into real products or companies. |
