Throughout my undergraduate experience, there has never been a class that helped relate what I learned in the classroom to real life. I did not have first hand knowledge of the various opportunities engineers have coming out of college. This was one of the main reasons why I took this course as I wanted to understand what happens after college. I thoroughly appreciate the different job opportunities discussed in this class, especially the fact that Dr. Simon showed both sides of the job. He just didn’t focus on the positives, he showed the negatives of various jobs and this helps tremendously with choosing future jobs.
Being a premed student, understanding the engineering side of medicine is one of the main reasons why I chose to do biomedical engineering. This course provided me with a great background and hands on opportunity to understand the working life of biomedical engineering.
