As I sat here and tried to recall many company logos, there is one color not prominent: purple. After doing a general google search of logos, most consist of red, yellow, and blue. Purple is present in Taco Bell, Yahoo!,…   Read more»

@hv42    You are absolutely right, the share a coke campaign was a genius marketing strategy for Coca-Cola. It’s a fun, interactive way to not only make people purchase their product, but also extends the amount of time they spend…   Read more»

I will answer this question from personal experience as my father is a sole proprietor and transferred it to my mother.   As we have learned, there can only be one owner. If a parent wanted to pass on the…   Read more»

I am more interested with a company’s values, goals, and history rather than the type it is. Each type discussed in the lectures have pros and cons, so one doesn’t necessarily outweigh another. Say I had two offers with similar…   Read more»

I also have not had experience working in industry. After reading some comments, particularly @pi29’s, I certainly can see how organizational skills relieve potential stress and prepare you in the long run. I would imagine that each team member would…   Read more»

You make a strong argument, and I certainly can understand your point of view. I also believe that this game happens, but maybe not to the extent that you’ve described. I would like to believe that the majority of physicians…   Read more»

I believe each reply on this tread has captured the fundamental ideas of QA and QC. Since they go hand in hand, as @aniketb has stated, one cannot exist (or perform to its full potential) without the other. A project…   Read more»

@mmd55    Hey Matt,   This is really interesting! It is actually similar to the 2002 Ballot Measure 27, which was concerned with labeling food in Oregon that was genetically modified. It, as well, did not pass with 371,851 for…   Read more»

I have not had experience working in the field just yet, but I believe this question can be related to teammates in a classroom setting. Coming from a small town in southern NJ, there really isn’t a diverse group of…   Read more»

An antibiotic-releasing hip stem implant would be considered a device/drug combination. The primary mode of action would be to restore mobility, as it is more than likely the patient would not have undergone surgery if they needed drugs to be…   Read more»

Both types of research are important, but I feel that helping the current generation is most important. At the present, we know what these people may be suffering from and that means we have a greater opportunity to resolve the…   Read more»

Animal testing is unethical, however, it is also necessary. These animals are often bred for the purpose of science, and I feel to an extent, humans are toying with nature. Since quality communication between humans and animal subjects is almost…   Read more»

Industry is more appealing to me because of the fast paced environment. There is a greater opportunity to obtain additional knowledge due to the constant rotation of projects. Over the years, I have learned that I strive to understand different…   Read more»

The planning process is crucial to the success of a good project specifically because this phase consists of the WBS, gantt chart, and finance management, to name a few. Any good project can only be completed in a timely manner…   Read more»

I do not have experience working with multiple project managers on the same project. In my opinion, the project would be the most successful if the project managers were overlooking different aspects of the project, as you have stated. This…   Read more»

A project that immediately comes to mind is my capstone project. I was tasked with designing an aluminum mold that would create our desired shape of PDMS. The drill holes were about 1mm in diameter, so the slightest imperfections could…   Read more»

I agree that BME is a diverse degree because at NJIT, we have biomechanics (similar to mechanical engineering), biomaterials (similar to biology), and instrumentation (similar to electrical engineering). In the very beginning we are exposed to these different tracks, and…   Read more»
