Program Description
The Biomedical Engineering Technology (Fast Track) program will be beneficial for students who have a college or university electronics background. A student's past education will allow them direct admission into the second year (third semester) of this three-year diploma program to receive an advanced diploma in two years (four semesters).
The Biomedical Engineering Technology courses, which are facilitated through the School of Engineering Technology and Applied Science, combine engineering with medicine. Students will use technical problem-solving skills while learning about biomedical engineering principles, among which will be:
- Electronics
- Computers
- Embedded microcontrollers
- Chemistry
- Biology
- Medicine
- Health
- Product engineering in the design of medical equipment, rehabilitation and health improvement devices
The merger between the biomedical equipment industry, engineering and scientific disciplines has seen innovations within the health care system that require qualified professionals in biomedical engineering. The program continuously evolves to reflect the ever-growing innovations in the industry, upgrading its curriculum to do so. As a Biomedical Engineering Technology graduate, students will be in demand.
