Admission requirements
Except for Engineering Science students in the Biomedical Engineering major, all engineering undergraduates are eligible to enroll in the Bioengineering minor.
Engineering Science students who are not from the Biomedical Engineering major are also eligible to enroll.
Application procedures
- Apply to an undergraduate engineering program. Select the application option that matches your academic history.
- Declare the Bioengineering minor. Submit the Bioengineering enrollment form.
Program pathways
The Bioengineering minor offers two pathways after the completion of compulsory courses. Pathways include A) Biomedical Engineering and B) Bioprocess Engineering. Although, students may customize courses to focus on a specific pathway, neither path is restrictive. In other words, students may also mix and match courses as desired. To complete the minor, students must take compulsory and technical elective courses to total 3.0 FCE.
