Opportunities for employers

Biomedical engineering combines mechanical and electrical engineering with human factors in medical device design and development. Hire our students through opportunities such as:

• co-op work terms
• faculty-based INSPIRE: STEM for Social Impact program
• career fairs

Consider working with biomedical engineering students on their capstone design project. A team of BME students can provide a fresh perspective on a problem and create unique solutions.

Submit a project proposal

Our graduates can work on electrical and mechanical engineering projects due to heavy cross-training from both sides. Their unique skills include:

• 3-D design software SolidWorks
• circuit simulation programs QUCS (Quite Universal Circuit Simulation), LT-Spice and Microcap
• statistical analysis software programs Matlab and R
• control languages Arduino, C-basic, C++ and Galil
• experience with electrical and mechanical engineering with human factors in medical device design and development
• quantitative understanding of anatomy and physiology
• familiarity with biomaterials and biomedical applications

Research partnerships

UVic’s research partnerships team connects industry, government and business partners with cross-campus research expertise.

The team can also help you access sponsored research and technology development funding programs.
