As most of you mentioned how co-op and internship are very important during the undergrad period, as it helps you to build the experience and the connection. I’ve heard from a lot of people that a lot of the companies try to fulfill the full-time positions form the co-op or internship. they prefer someone know about the company and the product as well as they know that person and how good he/she is to fulfill the need of the position rather getting someone from outside the company.
The advise I would share with a biomedical student special I’m coming from a different department for undergrad, Electronics and computer engineering, try to utilize the elective course to align with what you like to do. For example, if you like a career that you know you will use a specific software for, try to take the elective courses that help you to improve that knowledge and more focused. Most of these courses have more than one section/part, So also try to take all the part of the course to gain the max knowledge and dive deep as much as you can. Personally, I believe in specialties and focused major.
