Congrats to Senior Project Design Team!

BME ME team 2017 - device - croppedCongratulations to our Senior Project Design Team, consisting of Biomedical engineering students Kate Girouard and Victoria Frick and Mechanical engineering student Evi Shiakolas, on completing their project! In collaboration with the Stepp Lab and Dr. Susan Fager at Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital, the team designed an open-source switch to enable communication for severely paralyzed users who currently have no way to access an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) device! 

They presented their project to both the Mechanical engineering department and the Biomedical engineering departments this week. Well done!
