The biggest thing from this course that I’ve learned is knowledge about the regulations and the bureaucracy involved with creating a medical device. During my undergraduate coursework, I never really went into detail about such regulations and what it actually took to have a device on the market. Capstone taught me the design and prototype phase, but the testing and commercialization phase was unfamiliar to me. Throughout this course, I’ve learned a lot about things like validation vs verification, design controls, and standard procedure. This information is so vital in industry because an engineer who knows about all the steps of the medical device development process can be a greater asset to the company or research lab than an engineer who is simply skilled in engineering design. Overall, this course has helped me broaden my knowledge of the industry and has made me even more interested in how my career choice operates.
