The beauty of this course is that it’s more practical than it is theoretical and really gives students an idea of what’s going on in the real world. Even if you may not be a Project manager and just a regular design engineer, it still gives you a grasp on what goes on behind the scenes while your career path may be focused more on Research & Development, Design and Engineering, or manufacturing. Its helped me in my career while I do my task and duties for a certain project, how other tasks from different departments are dependent on what I do and how I carry out my job. The course really paints the big picture on how not only engineering, but marketing, management, quality, manufacturing may be integrated all under one project. While I may not be from a Biomedical background, I find the topics regarding the steps for creating medical devices interesting like FDA approval, 501k process, etc. Also learning about design controls is a topic that can be carried over into any industry. I didn’t even realize I was doing some part of design controls while working one of my past internships for an LED lighting fixture company until I learned about it in this course a year later. Overall, this course has really allowed me to view my job and career in general from a whole new perspective.
