Statistics
Mechanics & Materials Knowledge
CAD
Test Method Deveolpment
Technical Writing
Collaborate with
Quality Engineer
R&D Engineer
Manufacturing Engineer
Important Skillsets: Attention to detail, Creativity, Procedural Writing Experience, Flexibility
Helpful Experiences: BME Design Fellows, ENable,
Example Project: On a mechanical medical device I conducted tests on Instrons and other mechanical test frames, generated test plans, generated design requirements, and wrote test reports after completing testing.
Piece of Advice from a Duke BME Graduate: "Find ways in extracurricular activities to build your technical design skills early on at Duke. Keep a portfolio of the design projects that you have worked on. Be able to talk about how you decided to test your projects/designs on your resume"
