Master of Applied Science Biomedical Engineering and Specialization Bioinformatics

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).
