Undergraduate Courses
- The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering has initiated a new undergraduate major (specialization) in biomechanics.
- The major is interdisciplinary, and lies at the interface of mechanics, biology and medicine.
- The program comprises courses in biology, bio-medical engineering, medicine, chemistry, and physics, in addition to core courses in mechanical engineering.
- Due to the unique nature of the program and in order to ensure a strong background in “traditional aspects” of mechanical engineering, the major requires 38.5 credit points (compared to 26.0 in other majors).
- The number of students is limited.
