  • I believe that there should be more practical courses for doing masters degree because throughout our undergraduate studies, almost every single one of our classes we take as a biomedical engineer are academic based. We do not have practical classes as an undergrad except for our capstone class which is where we get to develop and build or improve an existing medical device. We get to take whatever we have learned in the first three years of undergrad to create a medical device while still taking more academic classes during our senior year. Since we have four years in total for academics, I feel that our MS classes should be maybe 70% practical and 30% academics if not 100%. Practical classes allows us to use our knowledge from academics and apply it to the practical classes. Also practical classes lets students be more prepared for the industry. They need to be exposed to the different job opportunities and let us see what we like. College should be preparing us for the real world and what to expect with our job roles.
