Reading through the past comments, I also have to agree that students need to focus on obtaining as much industry experience as possible. Over the years, I heard from advisors that biomedical engineers compete with the other majors (chemical, electrical, and mechanical) in order to find jobs. Therefore, it makes it harder for us to grow our professional experience. My advice to my peers will be to connect as much as possible. Sadly, most of the time, it’s about who you know to get a job. In addition, to not be picky about what opportunities are out there. While it’s okay to be a little selective, we can’t just consider particular jobs because they’re our only interest. As we expose ourselves in the industry, we can learn about different fields that can spark our interest and make a career out of it. Overall, when you have the opportunity of doing a co-op or internship, connect as much as possible and excel in your position; engage with people and connect with them.
