I feel that often times projects, or at the very least what we learn from them can carry over. I was an intern at a biomedical manufacturer that produced intra-aortic balloons for counter-pulsation therapy. In my training I learned a great deal about the device and was able to carry my knowledge over to a course where we modeled physiological systems using simulink to add on to and grow my knowledge of how the system functioned, as well as, the physiological functions in addition to the products components.
