As transitioning from academics into industry, this course is incredibly valuable in teaching what to expect. I have a far better understanding of the differences and overlap of the standards followed in Project Management processes and medical device Design Controls. The learning was supplemented by the weekly contribution to conversations. By being actively engaged in understanding the course material and exploring it beyond the lecture through forum discussions and simulations, there was a degree of ownership to the learning. Just like a good work culture, we learned collaboratively. I loved the simulation projects because it brought students together into teams to solve a real life industry problem by assuming the responsibilities of a project manager. No other course comes close to placing you in the same environment that would be expected in real life.
