Clinical Engineering
M.Eng. Program in Biomedical
Engineering with Concentration in Clinical Engineering at OCIBME in Canada
We are thrilled to announce the launch of our poster promoting the Master of Engineering (M.Eng) program in Biomedical Engineering with a concentration in Clinical Engineering at the Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Biomedical Engineering (OCIBME) in Canada. As a collaboration between Carleton University and the University of Ottawa, OCIBME combines academic resources from both institutions with clinical engineering expertise from leading hospitals and research institutions. We invite all interested candidates to explore this exciting opportunity to advance their careers in Biomedical Engineering with a focus on Clinical Engineering.
The 2-year M.Eng program offers students a comprehensive foundation for a career in Clinical Engineering. It includes coursework in Biomedical Instrumentation, Medical Imaging Modalities, Introduction to Biomedical Engineering, Clinical Engineering, and Fundamentals of Policy I: Policy Analysis. Additionally, students will undertake an 8-month practicum/internship designed by Certified Clinical Engineers and complete a Clinical Engineering project under the mentorship of a Professional Engineer.

Where are graduates working now?
There have been 12 graduates of the program in the past 10 years. Most graduates seek jobs in clinical engineering departments in hospitals, but some are employed by independent service organizations, equipment-planning firms, or medical equipment manufacturers in clinical technology management, technology support, quality or design roles.
Which school should I apply to for the Clinical Engineering Concentration?
You can apply to either school, the program is jointly offered by the University of Ottawa and Carleton University: M.Eng. Biomedical Engineering with Concentration in Clinical Engineering – OCIBME (carleton.ca)
How do I get admitted?
The selection process will be conducted during the summer. The students who are admitted into the MEng program and expressed their interest in the CE concentration will be contacted in the early summer for the instruction of the selection process. The admission to the CE program is selective and competitive, and a limited number of the MEng students are admitted into the CE program each year.
