Who hires our
co-op students?

McMaster’s undergraduate Engineering
program, with a common first year, allows
students to explore all of our degree path
options before choosing a focus discipline.
During the first year of study, Engineering students develop
a solid foundation in math and science, and are able to
build a personal network of peers before moving to their
level two specializations.
McMaster’s supportive learning
environment includes:
• A director of Engineering I, course coordinator, academic
advisors, and specially trained teaching assistants
• The student-run McMaster Engineering Society (MES)
• Dedicated first year Academic Advisors
• Engineering Co-op and Career Services
Common First Year
At McMaster, Engineering students
take a common Level I program with the
following courses:
• General Chemistry (CHEM 1E03)
• Engineering Design and Graphics (ENGINEER 1C03)
• Engineering Mathematics (MATH 1ZA3, 1ZB3, 1ZC3)
• Introductory Mechanics (PHYSICS 1D03)
• Engineering Computation (ENGINEER 1D04)
• Structure and Properties of Materials (MATLS 1M03)
• Waves, Electricity, and Magnetic Fields (PHYSICS 1E03)
• Engineering Profession and Practice (ENGINEER 1P03)
• Safety Training (WHMIS 1A00)
Engineering I

At McMaster University, we are transforming
healthcare challenges into a new learning
experience with the Integrated Biomedical
Engineering and Health Sciences (IBEHS) program.
We’re bringing together the best of our top-ranked
health sciences and engineering programs into a
hands-on, project-based program with a strong
focus on solving real-world problems.
The IBEHS program is an interdisciplinary undergraduate
program that will give students a strong foundation in
both engineering and health sciences. Students will have
a common first year before choosing to specialize in either
engineering or health science and entrepreneurship.
2 degree options based on specialization
after first year:
• Bachelor of Engineering and Biomedical Engineering
(B.Eng.BME) with a specialization in:
Civil
Chemical
Electrical
Engineering Physics
Materials
Mechanical
Mechatronics
or Software
• Honours Bachelor of Health Sciences in Health
Engineering Science and Entrepreneurship (B.H.Sc.)
Integrated Biomedical
Engineering and
Health Sciences
NEW
PROGRAM

IBEHS has a
project-based approach
The Health Solutions Design Projects course will cover topics
in engineering ethics and professionalism, design and graphics,
and several engineering sciences with the key challenge being
a series of biomedical-related design projects. This course is
the first in a stream of integrated learning projects that flow
through the program. Beginning in Level II, students will pursue
either an Engineering or Health Sciences degree.
Examples of interdisciplinary projects for first year IBEHS
students could include groups working together to design and
produce a better device for hip replacements or finding a way
for a person with severe arthritis to pump gas into a car.
Potential Careers
Graduates of this program will be uniquely positioned for
careers in the biomedical engineering, biotechnology, and
health and biomedical science sectors of the economy. They
will also remain well-positioned for careers that fall within the
spectrum of their engineering or health sciences discipline.
They will be well equipped to pursue further studies in
graduate research or professional health sciences careers,
such as medicine, or take on entrepreneurship opportunities.
Please see page 31 for admissions details.

Experiential education provides students with
hands-on learning opportunities beyond the
traditional lecture style format.
Undergraduate Research
Opportunities
Students considering a future career in research may choose to ‘test the
water’ and experience first-hand working in a research lab. McMaster
Engineering’s summer research program allows an undergraduate student to
work under the supervision of a faculty member.
Living Learning Community (LLC)
McMaster’s Residence Life Office has partnered with the Faculty of
Engineering to offer a residence community focused on Innovation and
Society. First year engineers in the Innovation and Society LLC have access
to programming geared towards engineers while living in a community
that fosters the interdisciplinary relationships that help our students thrive.
Opportunities specific to engineers will include engineering-focused field
trips, academic skills support, faculty visits in residence, career planning
groups and a formalized mentorship program.
Experiential Learning
THE GERALD HATCH CENTRE FOR
ENGINEERING EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
The three-storey, 28,000-square-foot building will be a hub for several engineering teams,
clubs, societies, student support services and collaborative workspace. The centre will
provide a space for the Faculty’s 5,000 undergraduate engineering students to collaborate on
projects and share ideas to support work being done inside and outside the classroom.
