Graduate Certificate in Translational Biomedical Engineering

The Graduate Certificate in Translational Biomedical Engineering consists of five courses (15 credits), including three required core courses and two complementary courses.

Core Courses (9 credits)

Four required courses in translational biomedical engineering:

BMDE 653. Patents in Biomedical Engineering.

Credits: 3
Offered by: Biomedical Engineering (Graduate Studies)
Terms offered: Winter 2026
View offerings for in Visual Schedule Builder.

Description

This is a practical course on patents with emphasis on biomedical engineering applications. The course offers an overview of intellectual property, patents, and the patenting process. The course also provides insights into the strategies relating to commercialization and exploiting of patents, as well as enforcing patents. This course is designed to help biomedical engineers who will encounter patents in their work and needs to understand the nature and the scope of the patent system, how patents are obtained, and how to commercially exploit a patent.

Most students use Visual Schedule Builder (VSB) to organize their schedules. VSB helps you plan class schedules, travel time, and more.

BMDE 654. Biomedical Regulatory Affairs - Medical Devices.

Credits: 3
Offered by: Biomedical Engineering (Graduate Studies)
Terms offered: Fall 2025
View offerings for in Visual Schedule Builder.

Description

Regulatory strategies and quality management systems are critical for medical device development. This course provides an overview of regulatory requirements, and familiarize students with the important ISO and IEC standards pertaining to medical device development. This course will provide biomedical engineers with an understanding of the regulatory and quality requirements to translate a medical device idea into a commercial product, and will draw upon the expertise of invited speakers currently working in the medical devices industry.

BMDE 655. Biomedical Clinical Trials - Medical Devices.

Credits: 3
Offered by: Biomedical Engineering (Graduate Studies)
Terms offered: Winter 2026
View offerings for in Visual Schedule Builder.

Description

This course will train biomedical engineers to understand the clinical and business aspects of transferring a medical device idea into a commercial product. This course provides an overview of the pre鈥恈linical and clinical testing of medical devices, clinical trials, reimbursement systems, market analysis, sales models, and business models, as pertaining to medical devices. This course will also cover the design of randomized trials, including statistical principles, hypothesis postulating, bias minimization, and randomization methods.
