Memorial Medtech

Memorial Medtech is the MUN engineering faculty’s first biomedical engineering student team, composed of 20 members, 17 from five engineering disciplines and 3 from Human Kinetics and Recreation. We specialize in the electrical and mechanical design of healthtech devices. Our team includes 7 executive members overseeing administration, finances, social media, and intellectual property, alongside 10 technical members focused on the mechanical, software, and electronics subsystems, and 3 HKR members who provide expertise in biomechanics and human movement. Currently, we are developing a medical device for the True North Canadian Biomedical Competition, scheduled for March 14th, 2026. This device, selected in partnership with industry sponsors, addresses real-world challenges and will be announced at the start of the fall semester. In addition to technical innovation, we aim to foster a community of biomedical engineers, bridging the gap between students and the biomedical industry in Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as across Canada. By participating in competitions and conferences, we strengthen connections with companies, helping students secure internships, research placements, and long-term career opportunities. Mission Statement: To cultivate a vibrant community of biomedical engineering students by engaging with industry partners, hosting events, and developing biomedical devices with real-world applications.
