Curriculum for Biomedical Engineering Degree
First year courses
Please refer to the UVic Calendar for more information about the first year engineering standard and immersion year schedules.
Important: Some required first-year courses are only offered one time per year. You must successfully complete them before moving into the second year of your program. These courses are: ENGR 110 (traditionally offered in the fall), ENGR 120 (traditionally offered in the spring) and ENGR 141 (traditionally offered in the spring).
Disclaimer: You are responsible for ensuring that all degree requirements have been satisfied as outlined in the University of Victoria Calendar. Any errors or omissions on this site do not absolve you from having to complete all of the program requirements.

- ENGR 130 (Introduction to Professional Practice) should be completed during the first term upon admission into the program (normally 1A, 2A or 3A). Students normally must complete ENGR 130 before undertaking their first work term.
- Students normally must successfully complete the Academic Writing Requirement or ENGR 110 before undertaking their second work term.
- Students following the immersion year schedule will take CSC 115 in the term 1C.
- See adviser.
- Bridge students must take ENGR 297 in place of one technical elective.
- Students who do not plan to enroll in the Mechatronics & Embedded Systems Option but who do plan to take ENGR 466 must take MECH 458 in place of CSC 349A in term 3A and take CSC 349A in term 4B in place of a technical elective.
- Students normally register in this course in the term preceding the final term of their program (academic or work term).
- A Complementary Studies Elective course dealing with central issues in humanities or social sciences, as required by CEAB guidelines for complementary studies, and as approved by the Faculty of Engineering’s BEng/BSEng Student Programs Committee. A current list of acceptable courses may be obtained from the BEng Office.
