What will I learn?

Program Overview

Biomedical Engineering involves the application of engineering principles to understand, modify or control biological systems with the objective of generating solutions to health-related problems. This area is diverse and multidisciplinary, bringing in concepts from chemistry, mechanics, biochemistry, mathematics, cell biology and physiology. This multidisciplinary is reflected in our collaborative biomedical engineering program, which links the graduate programs in Chemical, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering and provides shared learning experiences with interdisciplinary content, bringing students from a variety of backgrounds together to learn about research methodology and professional practice in the field of Biomedical Engineering.

Opportunities

Our students have the opportunity to work in collaboration with researchers in many other Departments such as: Biochemistry, Cell Biology and Anatomy, Physiology, and Mechanical Engineering. In addition, many projects involve both cardiovascular and orthopaedic surgeons. Much of the research is done within the Human Mobility Research Centre at Kingston General Hospital. Other research takes place at Hotel Dieu Hospital in Kingston and at the Schools of Kinesiology and Health Studies at Queen’s.

Method of Completion

All students must:

  • Satisfy the coursework, thesis and other requirements of member program as well as:
  • Enroll in the “Topics in Biomedical Engineering” graduate course (CBME 801) focusing on research methodology, experimental design, development of journal articles and research proposals. This course would count toward the course work requirement of your home program.
  • Participate in the Biomedical Engineering Seminar series, in place of their home department seminar series.
  • Undertake a thesis project in one or more of the areas of research expertise

Career paths - employment opportunities
