Abstract
Biomedical Engineering education has increased in popularity for the past two decades. New programs have been developed to prepare students for this emerging field of study. With its highly multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary nature, biomedical engineering is able to better prepare graduates for a engineering career that incorporates aspects life sciences such as medicine and biology. The University of British Columbia established a graduate level biomedical engineering program in the fall of 2006 after arduous consultations and an extensive survey process with the industry. This new program employs a device-based approach to teaching the life science components including anatomy and physiology. Feedback from industry sponsors and practicing biomedical engineers favour this UBC approach. A graduate survey was performed in 2011 with overwhelming endorsement to this device-based approach of life science education.
