And more so, I think we&#x27;ll see alumni of the program do great things in the coming years.<p>I&#x27;d argue that hardware is more challenging for younger founders, and medical device more so - the regulatory, funding, and access to users is hard. What makes this program so good is it makes user access easy, and coaches students through &#x27;translating&#x27; between engineering language and surgeon.<p>I was at UBC in the Biomedical Program the year before EiS started. Its a very strong program in medical device design, especially by including not just the engineering science, but life sciences, regulatory environment, and commercialization considerations.
