Program Description

The Master of Engineering program in Biomedical Engineering has the mission of equipping engineers, scientists, and healthcare professionals with the essential knowledge and skills to drive productivity, foster innovation, and facilitate discovery in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases and conditions.

It is a thirty (30) credits program in which the student will be required to take courses in professional development, STEM, and Project Design. Each student will be able to tailor their coursework accordingly to their aspiring career progression.

We welcome applicants from a broad range of engineering and scientific disciplines. Admission is open to students with diverse academic and professional experiences who demonstrate strong potential for success in our program.

Minimum Requirements:

  • A bachelor's degree in engineering or a scientific field.
  • Demonstrated foundational knowledge in the following subject areas:
  • Anatomy and Physiology
  • Biology and Biochemistry
  • Calculus I, II, and III
  • Linear Algebra and Differential Equations
  • Statistics

As part of the admissions review, we assess each applicant’s academic background for these core areas. If any gaps are identified, applicants may be offered conditional admission and/or advised to complete a series of recommended prerequisite courses to strengthen their preparation.

Educational Goal

We provide a well-balanced, well-tuned, needs-based curriculum that ensures students are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge for a successful career. Moreover, we provide courses, human and physical resources, and replicated industry-like environments within an academic setting; these infrastructures and processes provide students with hands-on experiential learning opportunities.

We firmly believe that an "innovation-driven culture" is reshaping the healthcare industry landscape, consequently transforming the educational requirements and the role of biomedical engineers. To address these challenges, we have developed a teaching philosophy for post-undergraduate education that enables a diverse group of students to gain business acumen, professional expertise, in-depth STEM knowledge, and theoretical as well as practical experiences related to the product life cycle of biomedical technologies. We place strong emphasis on hands-on, self-paced, collaborative, and enjoyable learning experiences.

Common Objectives

Students entering our program bring a diverse array of strengths and backgrounds, and they will pursue varied career pathways. With this diversity in mind, we have crafted a curriculum that is rich and flexible while still providing a well-defined and structured educational journey. Regardless of their career goals, our students share several concurrent objectives:

  • Gain a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted dynamics within the healthcare industry.
  • Expand and deepen technical and scientific knowledge in areas that align with their interests and professional focus.
  • Develop professional acumen to enhance their capabilities in navigating complex workplace scenarios.
  • Engage in real-life design challenges that reflect current issues, fostering practical experience and problem-solving skills.
