Welcome to Biomedical Engineering at Western
The School of Biomedical Engineering at Western promotes the cooperative involvement of clinical and basic researchers in disciplines including biomaterials, biomechanics, mechatronics and imaging. Our programs encourage multidisciplinary links between Western Engineering, Health Sciences, and Science; the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, Robarts Research Institute, Lawson Health Research Institute and teaching hospitals at Western University.
Explore our new Biomedical Engineering undergraduate program – a five-year concurrent degree in conjunction with a degree in a core engineering discipline. Built upon the success of the established graduate program, the undergraduate program promotes collaboration, research excellence, and a stimulating learning environment.

Robert Koch, BME Alumnus, Combats COVID-19
BME alumnus Robert Koch was recently featured on CTV News. Robert completed his BESc in 2016 in Electrical & Computer Engineering and his MESc in 2018 in Biomedical Engineering both at Western. His MESc was done under the supervision of Profs. Hanif Ladak, Sumit Agrawal and Susan Scollie and focused on sensorized manikins for training in Audiology. The Nasal EDucation (NED) simulator builds on Robert's expertise in training simulators and responds to a critical need to quickly train individuals to perform accurate nasopharyngeal swabs for COVID-19.
