Who We Are

At the intersection of the medical and engineering fields, BioMedical Engineering is for students who want to learn how to design and create products to help people across the range of global health challenges. BioMedical Engineers are the people behind nearly every tool and implantable device used in medicine.

  • Four years of specialized hands-on courses using latest technology to preparing entry into a variety of engineering or medical related careers

  • Collaborative teams learn in-depth human anatomy as well as engineering-design to take on real life challenges in health care, including global health issues

  • Engage across several engineering disciplines with medical interventions and devices

Who We Are

We fuse technology, research and hands-on patient care to discover a variety of opportunities available through the life sciences field. Through specialized experiences and innovative labs, students are exposed to the following three major topics:

  • Genetics — Take an in-depth look into our genetic code through DNA, and the various building blocks and proteins it codes for.

  • Research — Students opportunities to conduct research using specialized equipment in the life science and biotechnology fields.

  • Human Healthcare — The overall focus of this academy is combining genetics and research, while applying it to patient care. Senior year, students obtain internships in the healthcare industry and put their background knowledge to the test in a patient care environment.
