What it is	You study how mechanical systems, computers, and biological science work together to solve medical problems, combining engineering design with biotechnology and programming. Unlike a single engineering degree, this double degree lets you earn two credentials in five years by integrating these three fields from the start rather than taking them separately. It suits students who want to design medical devices, prosthetics, or diagnostic equipment and are comfortable working across biology, mechanics, and software simultaneously.	You study design across multiple disciplines, blending computer science, visual and product design, and hands-on problem-solving. Unlike a single-discipline design program, this approach lets you explore how technology, creativity, and practical application intersect in real projects. It suits people who want to design solutions but aren't sure whether they lean toward coding, visual work, or engineering, and who learn best by doing.	You study the engineering principles behind medical devices and equipment, combining mechanical engineering with biology and healthcare applications. Unlike pure mechanical engineering, this program integrates biomedical sciences so you design systems that work inside or on the human body. It suits students interested in engineering who also want to apply their skills directly to medicine and health technology, with mandatory paid work terms built into the degree.	This program combines electrical engineering with computer science, so you study both how to design electrical systems and how to write software that controls them. Unlike a single engineering degree, you earn two degrees in five years by taking courses in both fields simultaneously. It suits students who want flexibility across hardware and software rather than committing to just one discipline, and who are willing to spread their study over an extra year to do both.
