Course summary
This specialization is for students interested in the biomechanics of humans and animals, with emphasis on the physical, chemical, and biological factors affecting motion and function. Combined training in mechanics, material properties, and ergonomics allows graduates to work in industry on the design, evaluation, and application of medical devices as well as worker health and safety. Some students use the specialization as preparation for medical or veterinary school with the assurance of a marketable degree in engineering in case their post-graduation plans change. The biomechanics specialization is also excellent preparation for graduate work in biomedical engineering.
Program modules
Structure and Function of Biomolecules, Analysis & Control of Human Movement, Systemic Physiology, Biomechanics and Ergonomics, etc.
Entry requirement for international students
As an undergraduate, a student may apply for admission as a freshman or a transfer. To be considered for admission as a freshman, international students must have completed secondary school with a superior average in academic subjects and have earned a certificate of completion which enables the student to be admitted to a university in the home country.

International applicants whose native language is other than English will be required to demonstrate their English proficiency. This is most often accomplished by achieving a minimum score of 550 (paper-based) or 213 (computer-based) on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and On the TOEFL iBT minimum score of 80. Freshman applicants who graduated from high school in spring 2005 or earlier are required to have taken the SAT I: Reasoning Test (or ACT) and three SAT II: Subject Tests prior to high school graduation and a score of 7 on the IELTS.
