2 May be a 300-level or 400-level course.  The defined concentrations below set some constraints on selection of electives.

3 Must be a 400-level course. The defined concentrations below set some constraints on selection of electives.

4 Must be an approved course; consult pre-approved electives list available from the school.  The defined concentrations below also set some constraints on selection of electives.


Concentrations
Electives must match one of the two concentrations. Rehabilitation and Assistive Devices Concentration: one Scie elective must be KIN 448-3; three ENSC electives must be ENSC 387, 472, and 429. Biomedical Signals and Instrumentation Concentration: (with Biomedical Imaging focus) three ENSC electives must be ENSC 374, 429, and 474; (or with Biomedical Electronics focus) three ENSC electives must be ENSC 325, 425, and 429; (or with Biophotonics focus) the ENSC electives must be ENSC 325, 425, 376, and 476.
