Program Details
From surgical robots that allow minimally invasive surgeries to wearable devices that track your steps and your sleep patterns, technology is playing an increasingly important role in health care. A modern hospital runs thousands of devices that diagnose and treat diseases. To deliver effective devices, they need to be precisely calibrated and function as a cohesive system. Biomedical and electrical engineers are the ones who make it all happen.
The Bachelor of Biomedical and Electrical Engineering program combines electrical and computer engineering to design life-changing medical technologies. Students learn to develop everything from pacemakers and remote patient monitoring systems to medical imaging devices like MRIs, ultrasounds and X-rays. You’ll build expertise in electromagnetism, materials, signal processing, systems engineering, and quantitative analysis—skills essential for creating safe, effective and innovative medical devices.
Labs and Facilities
Carleton’s Biomedical and Electrical Engineering program blends natural sciences, electronics, computer architecture, and bioinstrumentation with training in ethics, research methods, and industry standards specific to the discipline. Students can choose electives in image processing, surgical robotics, integrated sensors, and clinical engineering while gaining hands-on experience in state-of-the-art facilities like the Biomedical Engineering Lab, the BioMechatronics Lab and the Microfabrication Facility. These spaces support work in medical device design, biosignal monitoring, smart systems and microdevice fabrication.
Co-op
Carleton offers students a paid Co-op option with work terms of 4, 6, 8, 12 or 16 months.
Work Experience
Ottawa is home to one of Canada’s largest concentrations of government agencies and high-tech companies. Located near campus is Kanata North, Canada’s largest technology park—offering Carleton students a direct pipeline to hundreds of companies looking for talent in biomedical and electrical engineering.
Did you know?
The Bachelor of Engineering in Biomedical and Electrical Engineering program also includes prerequisite courses for Ontario medical schools, so it keeps the door open to further studies in engineering and in medicine.
