Like many of the students have stated previously, I expected this course to include a thorough technical look at different industry roles associated with Biomedical Engineering, as well as the general process of medical device development. 3 months later, I am glad it didn’t. Those aspects are things that are covered by almost every other course we take as Biomedical Engineering students, while this one introduces us to an aspect of the industry that is essential to all employees, but is rarely covered in school.

As a premedical student, I can appreciate from afar how useful this course is to future industry students. To them, however, this course can be a life-changing experience that increases their value to employers and helps them advance in the industry. Despite being a premedical student, I am glad I took this course, and greatly appreciate Dr. Simon’s teaching style and methods. He is doing a great job filling a niche role, and I hope future students of his enjoy and appreciate his course as much as I did.
