What it is	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.	You study engineering fundamentals combined with physics and biomedical science, learning to design and build medical devices and systems. Unlike a straight biomedical engineering program, you get deeper training in physics theory and engineering principles first. This suits students interested in the technical side of healthcare innovation who want a strong grounding in both physics and biology before specializing.
