I agree because at first when I read what kbs27 said I was very confused because they used verbal and oral and I assumed they were both the same. But as you have stated they are not because verbal can…   Read more»

When I first saw this class I thought it was going to be about medical devices and how to build them. But I had no idea it was going to be an entire course on how the real world would…   Read more»

I agree that in the real world not everything will work out the way you want it as in working with people you are friends with. But it is also important to work with people who you know you can…   Read more»

Since we are doing project-based organization it is very tough to answer this question. As the teams were made the project managers were given little time to go around and talk to each department and explain their project to them….   Read more»

My team has had our first in-person meeting this week and we went over the gantt chart and what exactly needs to be done first so the rest of the project can get going. For example the DID which is…   Read more»

I agree with the idea of showing the buyers how to use the device while selling it to them. Companies cannot rely on the techs or even the surgeons to sit there and read how to use a device so…   Read more»

I do understand what you and Dr. Simon are saying but I get confused when it comes to situations the company cannot control. For example, medicines such as Tylenol or Advil are sold to the “normal” public which are not…   Read more»

I understand the point Dr. Simon, but I would hope the surgeon and the techs know the risks of each item they use. They do not have to read it in the middle of the surgery but they should prior…   Read more»

I agree with this point. When it becomes too much for the company they use the design controls as something they just need to get done, they do not use it to benefit their product. It becomes tedious work instead…   Read more»

I have not created a Gantt Chart in industry but I did have to create one for my Capstone class at NJIT. I also had to create one very early on in the project and I believe this made it…   Read more»

I am currently in Capstone 1 at NJIT. The business requirements document is very important because it is takes the customer needs given to us and puts us on a path to create a product. I do believe that all…   Read more»

I believe they are both necessary because they help you take action. These documents basically tell you what you will be building. With these documents technically anyone should be able to build your product. They both work off each other…   Read more»

I have no had experience in making a Gantt Chart in industry yet but I do have to make it for my Capstone class. It seems very helpful but it also seems very stressful. From my understanding of it, the…   Read more»

My experience with minutes for meetings was in a non engineering setting. I was a secretary of a church group and I had to write down the important dates we went over in the meeting. This was mostly done so…   Read more»

I agree! Placebo trials are important because we need a result that is not going to change. With this result we can then compare the other results to it to see if the other factor is useful. I do not…   Read more»

I understand that in a single blind study the investigator knows what is being used on the subject and that can cause a bias but in the double blind study who knows what is being given to the patients? That…   Read more»

I agree I do not believe a clinical background is necessary to work in this field. Engineers that have gone through the 4 plus years and are strong in their field should be able to get these jobs without clinical…   Read more»

This is so true because the more the video is shared on the facebook the more people will see it. Within a couple of days videos on facebook have millions of views. Social media is the easiest way to advertise…   Read more»

I agree that talking to the customer is a great way to market. It is the best way actually because as much as we want to make the best item we also need to know the customer needs. So for…   Read more»

One clever way of participation that I noticed and it actually worked on me is through social media platforms such as facebook, instagram and twitter. They do not force the ad on anyone but it just pops up. Especially an…   Read more»
