I thought the course was really cool and taught you the stuff you need to know. As for improvement, not sure, I think the course was developed in a really good way. Maybe, we can have more groups to post into every week. Or maybe you can have it so you need to post one discussion and reply to two others. That way, we get a more variety of posts and conversations. 

When I first started this class I thought it would be more of a medical device prescription class. However, I was surprised and at the same time happy to learn about the different jobs Biomedical Engineers can do and the skills needed to do these jobs. This is one of the only classes I've taken at NJIT where I've learned an incredible amount of real-world information about biomedical engineering that I can apply to my career as an engineer. Furthermore, the project is very useful in teaching us how to complete the various documents required to manufacture a medical device.

I found that this course ended up focusing on the practical aspects of the medical device industry rather just the theoretical knowledge which was very interesting, there were a lot of insights into the real world application and processes. I found that topics like marketing, clinical research, quality, risk management, and the product development process helped provide clarity into how biomedical engineering is a very extensive field and isn't just about research. There was a lot of discussion of business and what that looks like out in industry. Some recommendations i have for the class would be add more interactive work whether it be project presentations. 

I first enrolled in this course because I was interested in learning more about medical devices. After completing this course, I can definitely say that I am interested in working in QA/QC for medical devices post-graduation. What I liked most about this course was the discussion posts, because I enjoyed reading my classmates’ thoughts on the topics learned. I think this was a great course that introduced us to how things work in the medical device industry.

Overall, I really enjoyed the course and the content provided to us. Where as capstone showed us more customer oriented elements of medical device development, I feel as though this class conveyed more of the industry elements and through the project emulates to immerse you into that process and show you what it is like to be a part of a medical device development team. I think the part of enjoying the most, to my surprise quite frankly, is working together with my team to complete our project. It gave me the opportunity to experience what it was like to coordinate the project from a managers perspective which I am certain will be applicable to industry. Capstone gave me a bit of this experience, however I feel as though this project prepared me better and simulates real industry practices much better. My only complaint is that I wish we could have formed teams sooner or worked on the project a bit earlier as it would've provided me and my team a bit more time to work on the project. However, like the real world you cant pick and choose deadlines so it is realistic having to work around shorter deadlines (and holidays for that matter). Always a pleasure to take one of your courses, very excited for 682 next semester where we will dive deeper into the project management aspects of medical device development!

This course really helped me understand what actually occurs in the medical device world and what the work will be like day to day. I enjoyed seeing each step of the development process in a way that made sense. It also helped me see which parts of the field I am more interested in. This class gave me more insight that I can use in my career.

I am actually impressed with how much I learned in this course. As someone who wishes to work in the medical device development industry, I am very glad I took this course. This course is just as I thought it would be; we learn about the entire process that does into medical device development, from the start to finish. I am glad I can leave this course knowing something that I will most definitely apply in the real world and I think it's safe to say this course will pave the way for anyone who wishes to work in medical device development. Great course overall.
