In agreeance with puneet and hc225, I personally believe that there is not enough practical courses available at NJIT for both undergraduates/ graduates alike to pursue. Currently, as Dr. Simon states, there are only his 3 online courses that really focus in on medical device terminology and regulations which is really only enough to get a small(yet extremely useful) taste of what industry has to offer. I propose, at least for the graduate level courses, that there should be many more practical options for students to peruse. The way the course selection stands now, the course load tailors more towards academia/ research as a career rather than a smooth transition into industry. By having a greater number of practical courses available, depending on the particular students ambition to go into other industry or academia, they can effectively tailor their course load most effectively to suite their life’s goals and ambitions.

If I were to set rough course selection guidelines, I would mandate every student take at least 3 practical courses, 3 academic courses, and then the remaining 4 courses tailored to their desired career path in either academia or industry.
