Biomedical Mechanical Engineering
The purpose of the biomedical mechanical engineering program is to graduate engineers proficient in the areas of biomedical engineering related to mechanical engineering. These include the design of medical devices such as artificial hearts, implants, and prostheses, the development and selection of bio-compatible metallic and non-metallic materials for implants and medical equipment, robotics for medical applications, biomechanics, and rehabilitation engineering. The program structure parallels that of the regular mechanical engineering program, replacing eight courses in the regular program with biomedically-oriented courses.

Chemical and Biological Engineering
Chemical engineering is at the intersection of many disciplines, bridging knowledge of basic and applied sciences as well as economics and health/safety. Chemical engineering graduates enable the sustainable processing of raw natural material into finished products using a succession of operations. They are thus omnipresent in industry and during their careers will face a wide array of contemporary challenges in process optimisation and pollution control, (renewable) energy conversion, material development, and food and drug processing.
