Program: Biomedical Engineering

Hello 2019’s, Welcome!
You’re the trail blazers in an adventure that will give you the expertise to design and develop biomedical devices and sensors, work on medical imaging, analyze bioinformatics and much more!
As you progress through your time here you’ll be able to customize your degree further. It’ll be possible to graduate as a generalist or to concentrate on Biomedical Signals, Biomechanics or Biomedical Devices. First year you will be tackling more general concepts like which will unite you not just with your class but also the larger engineering student body.
As the first ever class of Biomedical Engineering at Waterloo there will be some pros and some cons. There may not be any upper years in your program but this is an excellent opportunity to develop strong ties with your professors. As you make your way through undergrad, your classes will be developed for you by the people who are teaching them. Go to office hours and ask questions not just about that class the professors’ research.
You will also get to define how your program is perceived by coming up with a program nickname and creating your own traditions. The future is now, good luck!
