MEDICAL EQUIPMENT ENGINEERING

The Medical Equipment Engineering program is a two-year, hands-on course of study designed for students interested in the intersection of healthcare, engineering, and technology. Students gain a strong foundation in engineering principles while learning to install, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair the medical devices used in hospitals, clinics, and laboratories. Coursework integrates applied physics, electronics computer-aided design (CAD), and biomedical engineering concepts to prepare students for real-world problem solving. 

Through industry-standard tools and simulators, students develop technical, diagnostic, and design skills while practicing safety and compliance with healthcare regulations. Emphasis is placed on engineering design processes, preventative maintenance, calibration, and the integration of biomedical devices with emerging technologies such as robotics and automation. Work-based learning, industry certifications, and collaborative projects prepare students for both direct-to-work opportunities and advanced post-secondary study. 

CAREER PATHWAYS

Completion of the Medical Equipment Engineering program prepares students to enter the workforce as biomedical equipment technicians, medical device service technicians, or electronics/field service technicians, supporting hospitals, clinics, and laboratories. 

Many students continue their education in biomedical engineering technology, electrical engineering, or healthcare technology management at the college level, building on the strong foundation in engineering gained in high school. 

With further education and experience, career opportunities expand to roles such as biomedical engineer, clinical engineer, healthcare technology manager, or research and development engineer, where professionals design, test, and innovate life-saving medical devices. 

This pathway combines engineering and healthcare, providing students with multiple options for immediate employment, advanced study, and long-term careers that have direct impact on patient care and medical innovation.
