Welcome, Biomedical Engineering students, to your new home at Waterloo. Your department may be the infant of the family, but that just means we love you all the more!
Your time at Waterloo will expose you to all sorts of wonderful ideas and technologies as you learn how to marry technology with the increasingly-important field of medicine. You will learn to work with doctors and policy makers, biologists and engineers to speed you on your way to a successful career in the the eternally growing field of technology-based medical care.
Upon graduating this program, you will have the ability to understand and model complex biological systems, and the skills and experience to design new tools and products to improve the lives of people all around the world. That may seem far away as you toil through your more general first-year courses, but stay sharp as these general concepts will be reused and reinterpreted as you get into more complex concepts like biology, digital signals, medical imaging, and design.
Learn from the class that went before you, and broaden the path even more for the generations of students that are sure to follow after.
