Bio-medical Equpiments Enjneering
Centennial College’s Biomedical Engineering Technology program has been designed to meet the need for qualified professionals resulting from the merger between the biomedical equipment industry, and engineering and scientific disciplines.
These collaborations have created innovations beneficial to both the health care system and society that require the industry to meet the challenge of offering a range of quality products.
Providing an optimum balance between theory and hands-on labs, this Biomedical Engineering Technology program covers various principles in the design of medical equipment, rehabilitation and health improvement devices, including:
- Electronics
- Microcontrollers
- Computers
- Engineering
- Chemical
- Biology
- Medicine
The technical problem solving skills you gain prepare you for a challenging career in which artificial organs, prostheses and medical instruments wouldn’t exist without biomedical engineering.
Please note: Qualified college or university graduates with a background in electronics gain direct admission into semester three of this three-year program and receive their Biomedical Engineering Technology advanced diploma in four semesters (program #3427) or four semesters plus two work terms with the co-op option (program #3437).
Co-op Option
The co-op option in this program will provide you with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience while you complete three work terms, as a paid employee in the field. This experience not only allows you to put classroom learning into practice, but will also provide valuable contacts for your future career.
To participate in programs with optional co-op, typically students will complete an application process in the second semester of their studies, and if academically qualified, will be admitted to the co-op program. When you graduate, your diploma will highlight the co-op credential.
