The simulations were very helpful because it teaches you different ways to think outside the box in terms of resolving different issues from a very basic and high level approach. The simulations were very practical and are very real situations that happen across all medical device companies. Therefore, the simulation did its job in teaching these two different things.

What I found the simulations can’t teach, however, and this just comes with experience working, is that you can’t always follow the same basic approach to resolve the same issue/situation. As simple as it is to just doing the same thing that resolved one thing – most real problems in industry are never the same and if they are it usually has the slightest difference that changes everything. As useful as the simulations are, running into these same situations in industry that the simulation presented, most likely will require a tweak or different approach then what was done here.
