Software and Biomedical Engineering, Software and Biomedical Engineering Co-Op (B.Eng.BME)

Admission to Level II IBEHS Programs

Admission to either the B.H.Sc. (Honours) Health, Engineering Science and Entrepreneurship (HESE) specialization or the B.Eng.BME Biomedical Engineering (BME) specialization requires successful completion of all non-elective Level I IBEHS courses with a minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) of 4.0. 

All students who successfully complete the first year of the program will have a space in one of the two degree options.  As enrolment is limited in each of the two degree options (HESE or BME), where there is more demand than spaces, competition will be based on first-year academic achievement.

Students seeking admission to the BME specialization will be admitted to one of eight Level II Engineering programs (Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Engineering Physics, Materials, Mechanical, Mechatronics, or Software).  Admission to a Level II Engineering program is guaranteed for all students who meet the general progress requirements.  All engineering programs have limited enrolment; should there be more applicants than the limiting number in any program, admission to that program will be based on GPA.

Students who do not meet the requirements to proceed to Level II in May will have a Pending flag put on their allocation.  The Pending flag will be removed in August if the student completes the requirements over the summer.

Notes

1. As well as completing the academic requirements as specified in this Calendar, students in a Co-op program must complete IBEHS 1EE0 . IBEHS 2EC0  will be added to the academic record for each four-month work term.
2. Students enrolled in the Integrated Biomedical Engineering & Health Sciences (IBEHS) program may take up to eight units of research project or independent study courses. A full listing can be found on the IBEHS website.
3. Students enrolled in a B.Eng.BME program wishing to enrol in a research project or independent study course must have a faculty member supervisor or co-supervisor from the Faculty of Engineering.
