As an undergraduate student here, I never talked about the FDA from my freshman to junior years. However now in my senior year I have been able to understand how projects are actually done in the Industry because of this class. I had taken Dr. Simon previously for BME684 which is development of Medical Devices and I was able to learn a lot of things that I did not touch in my other courses. The only professor who briefly explained some regulations about the FDA was Dr. Schesser. I haven’t been interviewed for any jobs yet but a lot of friends who already have a job tell me that knowing regulations of the FDA is key when obtaining a job. In addition, I think this course is way different than what Engineering students are used to.

Let me know what you think.
Sincerely,
Roberto Pineda.
