BIOE 374: Biodesign Innovation - What Students are Saying!

Ours is one of the most popular engineering courses on campus. Here's what students who have taken the class in prior years have to say about their experiences:

A fantastic course. I am very lucky to have seen this in the course catalog last fall when I got to Stanford. I thank the staff and faculty for giving me this opportunity to pursue the medtech industry, which had been my career goal since I was a kid.

Definitely different from all other classes I had taken at Stanford and I'm very glad I took the class.
                                                                                             5th year, Bioengineering PhD student

Overall, I found the course extremely valuable and learned a lot about the medical device innovation process.
                                                                                             Second Year, MBA

I think the Biodesign Innovation Program is absolutely fantastic. I really enjoyed BIOE374A; it is the BEST class I have taken. I am really excited about developing the necessary skills through this program.

Very good course, perhaps one of the best offered on campus.
                                                                                               2nd Year, MBA

The Biodesign course is the most useful course I have taken at Stanford. Please keep bringing in leaders in med devices, as I learned from them in 1 hour what would have otherwise taken months or years to learn on my own.                      
                                                                                               2nd year Masters, Mechanical Engineering

It's the best class ever! I love this class. The knowledge from this class is very useful and I think it will help me a great deal in my future career! It's absolutely the best class I've ever taken.
                                                                                               2nd year Masters, Mechanical Engineering

It was an excellent class. I really enjoyed it and got a much better view and idea of how the med-tech start-ups are organizing and being managed.
                                                                                              PhD, Mechanical Engineering

Truly a great course! I felt like I learned a lot, and that I will be able to use a lot of this information as I progress in my career in the medical device industry.
                                                                                               2nd year Masters, Mechanical Engineering

As a whole this has probably been my best experience in my Master's program so far, rivaled only by a full year design course.
                                                                                               2nd Year Masters, Mechanical Engineering

I was a student of yours in the 2004- 2005 Biodesign Innovation course.  Since that time, I've spent some time at Merck in the vaccines area and as an analyst at a Philadelphia based VC firm.  I am now an MD/PhD student at Baylor College of Medicine.  I credit much of my success to the things I learned from your course.
