    Hello 9275: Our Medical Device Development class brings to reality things I never knew before, the Matrix Organizational Structure, for instance. It’s quite exciting; I hope you’ll agree. In my opinion, every Biomedical Engineer should go through this course, because they wouldn’t know what they would be missing if they didn’t; it’s the least a BME engineer should do – no one wants to get lost out there. It’s a very practical course. Thanks to Dr. Simon. Just being in the course is very fulfilling.

    My project manager seems to have already done this project, else where. So he knew exactly what we were getting into. He started by distributing some project related literature which we were to learn from. We were then to fill out our functionally related templates following what we learnt.

    To do this right, I personally did a lot of extra digging intent on educating my project partners – even my already knowledgeable project manager – on aspects relating to our project – especially on marketing related issues related to our project in other parts of our world. This I hoped would make the template filling more exciting to whoever read what I wrote.

    We meet every Friday at 7 pm on Google Hangouts (Conference Call) to share our aspects of the project with the rest of the team. Specifically, how far we have come completing our area of the project; and possibly, ask any questions, if any.

    I can’t help it, but I am very much into this course. I don’t know about you. And good luck with your project.
