I would suggest getting an internship/co-op to have an exposure to the Industry environment. However, even this is very competitive with company recruiting like 2-3 students in the pool of 100 people. If lucks aren’t in your shoes, perhaps try to look for a mentor, but make sure it is someone who shares the same interest as you. Attend various career fairs and conferences, if anything they will give you an idea if indeed Industry is the right path for you. Furthermore, it might be best to take time off school and work full time before starting a Master. In this way, the classes you take might be more relevant to your work as you would choose them according to your line of duty. Another great advice will be to very fluent in one skill. BME student tends to not have a proficiency in skills, we tend to know a bit of everything. Try to set yourself apart by learning a programming language for instance.
