As a student and a co-op in industry, I would tell fellow students to take advantage of all the resources we have at NJIT. Attend career fairs, go to networking events, and create strong contacts with your professors. The professors are all very knowledgeable in both research and industry. Career fairs also help build your confidence with speaking to employers, and additionally a way to get hired.
My biggest piece of advice would be to seek internships and co-ops, research, or anything independent and specialized, as early as possible. Do everything you can to stand out to employers so that you are not just like every other biomedical engineering student.
