Since starting at Maquet I never actually knew what I would be doing as a manufacturing engineer in industry. I heard about the FDA maybe once or twice as an undergraduate.This course taught me so much about working as an engineer in industry compared to a majority of other courses I have taken in my undergraduate career. The first weeks lecture on classification of medical devices was vital for my understanding of Maquets products within the first couple of weeks at work. Maquet is mostly known for their IABs (intra aortic balloons) which are class three devices. But before I attended this class I had no idea what that meant. The FDA regulations and hierarchy break down is so vital to understand when working in industry. These concepts were only brought to my attention through this course. Engineering students focus a lot on STEM topics in college but their should be an undergraduate course which covers these basic concepts so that students will be able to understand their work environment.
