Double Degree - Bachelor of Engineering Science - Biomedical Engineering & Bachelor of Engineering Science - Mechanical Engineering (EE)

The School of Biomedical Engineering at Western University offers four concurrent undergraduate degrees. Upon completion, students will receive two degrees: a BESc in Chemical, Electrical, Mechanical, or Mechatronic Engineering; and a BESc in Biomedical Engineering. Admission is competitive; meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. All students will complete a common first year. During the first year at Western, students will take a variety of introductory courses to build a solid engineering foundation. At the end of the first year, students will be prepared to make an informed decision on their degree path. Beginning in second year, students will take courses on one of the four core engineering disciplines, as well as fundamentals in biomedical engineering. In third year, students will complete the majority of the required courses for their core program, as well as general Biology 1001 and Biology 1002. In fourth year, all BME undergraduate students will take the required BME and biomedical sciences courses together. Students will also take biomedical science and health-care related non-technical electives. In the final year, the two degrees are integrated. Students will complete a capstone design project within their core program and a research thesis within biomedical engineering.
