From an information age to a biomedical age
The emerging field of biomedical engineering brings engineering science and technology to bear on problems in medicine and biology. McMaster’s new program in Electrical and Biomedical Engineering will enable students to obtain a four-year bachelor of engineering degree in electrical and biomedical engineering, with a fifth year to obtain a master’s of engineering degree.
Pushing the bounds of chemistry and biology
About 24 students entered the inaugural Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering program offered in fall 2002. Students will graduate with a Bachelor of Engineering and Biosciences degree, and could pursue careers in the food and beverage industry, biomedical devices, and environmental and pharmaceutical industries.
Engineering a sustainable world
McMaster’s Department of Civil Engineering offers an environmental stream within its undergraduate programs. Environmental engineering combines scientific principles, computer modelling and aspects of public policy to create practical solutions for improving the quality of our air, water and soil.
