I think the deciding factor between a viable study and a poor one really comes down to study design. From the slides, one of the biggest pitfalls mentioned was poor study design from the beginning. If...

@nick-carrillo That’s a great example, and I think it really shows the balance between simulation and physical testing. I’ve had similar experiences where a design looked perfect in software but didn’...

Managing multiple projects at once can get messy, so prioritizing really comes down to planning and being realistic. The slides emphasize tools like Work Breakdown Structures, Gantt charts, and critic...

I don’t think missing a milestone automatically means failure. From the slides, milestones are just checkpoints to measure progress and keep the project on track. If a milestone is missed because of p...

I agree with you that pre-clinical research is really the backbone of medical device development; it’s where you catch problems early before anyone gets hurt. From the slides, I noticed a big emphasis...

I think you really nailed the issue of being on the same wavelength for managers and engineers. The Challenger example shows us how bad communication can be. Projects of medical devices have a lot at ...

I especially liked the way you connected your sports background with project management, a great analogy. In biomedical engineering and biotechnology, team camaraderie is crucial for completing projec...

@rd389 I totally agree with your entry and believe your counsel is truthful. In biomedical engineering, at least, establishing connections via internships and co-ops is probably the best way to get do...

Being overqualified is a two-edged sword that relies on perception. On the positive side, it means I have strong skills, knowledge, and experience that allow me to deliver, learn quickly, and even men...
