Dr. Simon,
As most have mentioned above, what is really great about these courses is how it provides a glimpse of student with no work experience with a preview of what are some of the engineering aspects to expect in the industry. And even though I have taken the previous online courses like Orthopedic Medical Devices and the project management course, my favorite part of this course it turning the entire group of students into one massive matrix organization which mimics the structure of large pharma companies. In addition, also exposing the students to the various documentation that are constantly used in the industry to get a medical device into the market.
