Why take the Biomedical Option in Mechanical Engineering? (Co-operative)

Biomedical or biomechanical engineering is the application of the principles of engineering to the solution of problems in medicine and clinical sciences. You’ll receive a human-centric education that builds on the traditional Mechanical Engineering degree, and helps prepare you for employment in the health care industry, or for graduate-level studies.

This Option can be taken as part of a Mechanical Engineering degree (Co-op only).

Co-op option
This degree can be taken as a Co-op (co-operative education) program. Through the Co-op program, you will have the opportunity to complete paid, supervised work terms throughout your degree. Co-op programs are great way to challenge yourself, gain relevant work experience, and make connections to industry before you graduate!

Most co-op programs include five work terms lasting four months each, in addition to the usual eight terms (four years) of full-time study. Therefore, co-op programs require five years to complete.

Why study Engineering at the University of Alberta?

The Faculty of Engineering is widely recognized as one of the top Engineering schools in Canada, with globally renowned professors, state-of-the-art labs and teaching spaces, and highly specialized facilities and areas of research.

Throughout your degree, you’ll have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience, participate in research, and contribute to team projects both inside and out of the classroom.

Please note: If you are applying directly from high school, you must apply to the qualifying first year of Engineering. After you complete your first year you will have the opportunity to choose a specific degree program.

The Bachelor of Commerce is a four year degree program. The program provides students with a background in diverse areas of Business along with in-depth study of a specific area of interest.
Students are also able to explore disciplines offered in other University of Alberta faculties through program electives providing a well rounded degree. The BCom program provides students with a basis for self-learning through actual experience and the opportunity to develop comprehensive analytical skills.

International Business
Accounting for differences in language, culture, and law in our globalized economy makes doing business across international borders a specialized and challenging field.
This major widens your perspectives, teaches new approaches, and prepares you to do business in the global marketplace. Differences in language, culture, and law mean that business managers must be prepared to tackle these issues.

The General route is the most flexible route in the Bachelor of Design program. In addition to the core Design curriculum, you’ll have the opportunity to select options from the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Science. You can also combine Visual Communication Design and Industrial Design courses with Fine Arts courses and options to gain experience in a variety of disciplines.

Our specialized and competitive Bachelor of Design (BDes) degree is the perfect way to start your journey towards a career in Design, whether that means starting your own design business, applying for positions within a larger firm, going on to do a degree in Architecture, or myriad other design-related careers.

Our BDes students can focus on Industrial Design, Visual Communication Design, or they may choose to do both.

Each BDes student also chooses one of our 6 "routes," a system which is unique to the University of Alberta's Department of Art & Design. If you aren't certain about your route, that's ok! You can change your route easily within the first few years of your degree. The route you choose gives you the option to enhance Industrial Design and/or Visual Communication Design studies with an elective path of study in one of the following:

• General Design Route
• Business and Marketing Route
• Computing Science Route
• Engineering Route
• Printmaking Route
• Social Sciences Route

This route system gives you the opportunity to gain additional critical skills and knowledge to meet the evolving demands of the economy. Select the degree route which has the combination of courses in which you are most interested and for which you have the greatest aptitude. Future careers may be influenced by your route in the sense that your options courses will influence the work you make in your studio classes, and in the skills and perspectives you can offer to future clients, employers, or grad schools, when the time comes.

Program Description:-

• Do you dream of becoming an Art teacher? Art can be taken as a major or minor as part of a Bachelor of Secondary Education.
• Areas of focus include techniques in Drawing, Media and Colour, Composition, Expression, Design, and Art History.

Teaching is a calling, and we are dedicated to helping you become the homeroom teacher that your students will remember for a lifetime. Our Secondary Education program in the Faculty of Education prepares you to pass on your love of learning and discovery in almost any subject to students in grades 7-12.

This degree is normally taken as a four-year program but can also be taken as an after-degree. Upon completion of this program, you will be recommended for teacher certification in Alberta.

The Computer Process Control curriculum is built around the Chemical Engineering program core. You will take all the required chemical engineering courses (including material and energy balances, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, separation processes, and chemical reactor analysis), as well as additional specialized courses that help to develop your skills as a computer process control engineer.

This program provides an introduction to the principles of electronics, electromagnetics, and photonics as they apply at the nanoscale level. By selecting this option, students will learn about the processes involved in the fabrication of nanoscale structures and become familiar with the computer-aided design tools necessary for analyzing phenomena at high levels of miniaturization.

Co-op option
This degree can be taken as a Co-op (co-operative education) program. Through the Co-op program, you will have the opportunity to complete paid, supervised work terms throughout your degree. Co-op programs are great way to challenge yourself, gain relevant work experience, and make connections to industry before you graduate!

Most co-op programs include five work terms lasting four months each, in addition to the usual eight terms (four years) of full-time study. Therefore, co-op programs require five years to complete.

Please note: If you are applying directly from high school, you must apply to the qualifying first year of Engineering. After you complete your first year you will have the opportunity to choose a specific degree program.

Paleontology is the study of the history of life as preserved in the fossil record, examining the patterns and processes of evolution and extinction.

Our Paleontology program is world-renowned, with leading researchers, extensive collections, and access to digs, bone beds, and work experience opportunities you won’t find anywhere else.

The Paleontology Specialization program concentrates on the study of fossils and ancient life forms. It is an interdisciplinary program designed to give you a strong background in paleontology, earth sciences, and biological sciences, and prepares you for graduate-level studies.

Can’t wait to study Paleontology? Check out our Dino101 Massive Open Online Course (MOOC).

Paleontology can also be taken as part of a BSc with Specialization degree.

This program prepares you to become a professional sport coach. You’ll gain both a theoretical understanding of, and practical experience in, the scientific, sociological, and pedagogical aspects of coaching.
