Who are we?
Who are we?
WEBMC is Western’s biomedical engineering club, dedicated to bridging the gap between classroom theory and real-world impact. At the heart of our community is a student-led build team, where students from all backgrounds can explore their interests and passions for biomedical engineering. Our team provides the resources, mentorship, and creative freedom for students to turn their ideas into tangible innovations.
OUR MISSION
OUR MISSION
Our design team operates on 2 main principles:
DEDICATION
We're committed to giving every student the best experience possible. Our team is built on respect, integrity, and hands-on dedication.
Our team leads aren't just managers who sit back and delegate; they are deeply embedded in the daily design process, providing active mentorship and technical guidance alongside members. We hold our team to high standards because we take our work seriously.
INCLUSION
We pride ourselves on being a genuinely welcoming community where collaboration is prioritized. We actively involve first-year students in brainstorming, designing, and building from day one.
Our team is an inclusive space where students from all backgrounds and experience levels can collaborate openly, share ideas, and feel valued.
What do we do?
What do we do?
We provide students with experience through 2 initiatives.
The True North Biomedical Engineering Competition (TNBC) is a national, year-long medical device design competition that challenges student teams to develop, prototype, and validate innovative biomedical solutions to real-world healthcare problems.
Teams from universities across Canada design test their devices throughout the academic year before gathering at a host university for the final competition, where projects are evaluated on technical performance, innovation, and clinical impact to determine the national champion. Learn more about the competition on their official website!
We are collaborating with Robarts Research Institute on biomedical engineering projects aimed at improving healthcare accessibility in low-resource settings.
These projects provide students with valuable experience in rapid prototyping, frugal design principles, and interdisciplinary medical device development, equipping them with practical skills for their future engineering careers.
