Bachelor of Engineering Science in Mechanical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering

Western University

Admission Requirements

The Mechanical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering Option (Option F) is a limited-enrollment program. Upon completion, students will receive two degrees: a BESc in Mechanical Engineering and a BESc in Biomedical Engineering (non-accredited). Admission to Option F is competitive; meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission.

Students apply to Option F while in first year through the Intent-to-Register process. The Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, in collaboration with the Director of Biomedical Engineering, will accept students into Option F. To be eligible for Option F, all of the requirements of the first-year curriculum in the Faculty of Engineering must be completed with a minimum year-weighted average (YWA) of 70%.

Acceptance into Option F does not guarantee acceptance into the concurrent degree program. Students apply to the concurrent degree program during their second year in Engineering by the published deadline. To be eligible for the concurrent degree program, students must complete all of the requirements of the second-year program in Option F of the Mechanical Engineering Program, obtaining a minimum year-weighted average (YWA) of 70% and a minimum grade of 70% in Biomedical Engineering 3201A/B.

Students who are not accepted into the concurrent degree program after second year will still be eligible to complete a BESc in Mechanical Engineering provided that they meet the requirements for progression in Engineering. In this case, the BME 3201A/B course may count as a 0.5 technical elective in the program.
