Program Description
Ottawa-Carleton Joint Program
Established in 2006, the Ottawa-Carleton Institute of Biomedical Engineering (OCIBME) combines the teaching and research strengths of many academic units across the University of Ottawa and Carleton University.
Graduate education in biomedical engineering is multidisciplinary, and it combines the teaching and research input of seven primary participating academic units at:
University of Ottawa:
- Department of Mechanical Engineering (MCG)
- School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS)
- Department of Chemical Engineering (CHG)
Carleton University:
- Department of Systems and Computer Engineering
- Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
- School of Computer Science
- Department of Physics
Research facilities are shared between the two campuses. Students have access to the professors, courses and facilities at both universities; however, they must enroll at the “home university” of their thesis supervisor if they are enrolled in the MASc option, or of their project supervisor if they are enrolled in the MEng with project/internship.
The Institute is a participating unit in the collaborative program in Bioinformatics (at the master’s level).
Main Areas of Research
The Institute benefits from the expertise of a number of prominent medical researchers and well established University of Ottawa medical research units including : the University of Ottawa Heart Institute and the University of Ottawa Eye Institute. In addition to the participating academic units listed above, a number of others are involved in the program through the research activities of some of their faculty members, or through graduate courses that may be taken as electives by students in the program.
Members of the Institute are engaged in five main research fields:
- Medical instrumentation
- Biomedical image processing
- Biomechanics and biomaterials
- Medical informatics
- Telemedecine
Other Programs Offered Within the Same Discipline or in a Related Area
- Master of Applied Science Biomedical Engineering Specialization in Bioinformatics (MASc)
- Master of Engineering Biomedical Engineering Concentration in Clinical Engineering (MEng)
- Master of Engineering Biomedical Engineering (MEng)
Fees and Funding
- Program fees:
The estimated amount for university fees associated with this program are available under the section Finance your studies.
International students enrolled in a French-language program of study may be eligible for a differential tuition fee exemption.
- To learn about possibilities for financing your graduate studies, consult the Awards and financial support section.
Notes
- The program is governed by the regulations and procedures for Joint Graduate Programs and the general regulations in effect for graduate studies at each of the two universities.
- In accordance with the University of Ottawa regulation, students have the right to complete their assignments, examinations, research papers, and theses in French or in English.
- Research activities can be conducted in English, French, or both depending on the language used by the professor and the members of the research group.
