I think it is a 70:30 is perfect, because Biomedical engineering is a very diverse field their is a so much course work that undergrad in BME is not good enough. As an undergrad I experienced orthopedic medical device Master course and I think that course should be offer as undergrad because the last 25% of the course will teach the undergrad about the industry so that course is best for undergrad to give them the idea what to expect. Other than that I think NJIT undergrad curriculum is solid(Exclude unnecessary electives) It actually prepare the student’s from the base meaning focus on conceptual understanding and also it gives a lot of opportunity to student’s for hands on experience for example FED 101, BME385 and etc. The only problem is they can’t cover everything in undergrad because as I said earlier BME is really wide filed so they try to focus more deep as much as possible in masters and again it all depend on students so some don’t take this kind of courses in the master which actually teach them about the industry. What I strongly suggest is they should make these 3 courses mandatory for master non-thesis to maintain that 70/30 ratio.
