I feel like you can not call it a 70/30 based off that this is the only course that i know of that is set up this way. Also as a current undergraduate student there is not offere of these practical classes. I do believe that BMEs specifically are well know for their diversity and large range of knowledge, but I do not believe that college has prepared me for my job any better than High School did. MY job has required a minimal amount of medical or engineering knowledge but rather skills that are very specific to the job. WHen I interviewed for my job my boss directly stated that the hardest part about breaking into the work-force is realizing that you have learned very little to prepare you for this job. I believe that current set up only really prepares students to do research and try to develop new ideas. This is a great form of education but it needs to be seen that it is not the only form. We should be educated to be able to have a job.
