Bachelor of Applied Science (Engineering) in Biomedical Engineering – University of British Columbia (Vancouver, British Columbia)
Learn how to apply engineering principles and design to medicine and biology for healthcare purposes in Biomedical Engineering. Students will start by building a foundation in biomechanics and biomaterials, cellular and molecular bioengineering, biomedical systems and signals, or biomedical informatics before specializing in third year.
Biomedical Engineering students will take a series of core courses aimed at building a solid foundation in engineering, biology, math, chemistry, and design. In their third year of study, they will have the opportunity to customize their degree to their interests by specializing in one of four streams:
• Biomechanics and biomaterials
• Cellular and molecular bioengineering
• Biomedical systems and signals
• Biomedical informatics
The curriculum includes traditional, online, and mixed-instruction courses, plus hands-on studio, laboratory, and design work. Through these experiences, students will gain a strong understanding of biology, human anatomy, and physiology, and develop the skills required to apply this knowledge in engineering design contexts and solve engineering problems.
The University of British Columbia (UBC and UBCO) also recently launched new programs in Neuroscience, Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Urbanism, Environmental Engineering, Food and Resource Economics, Forest Bioeconomy Sciences and Technology, Health and Exercise Sciences, Manufacturing Engineering, Nsyilxcn Language Fluency, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Sustainability.
