Congratulations to Mechanical Engineering Senior Design Team WRVL – Clara Aranguren ’17, Luke Brown ’16, Devin Holladay ’16, Benjamin Keyser ’16, Katelyn Koons ’16, and Patrick ‘Joey’ Tilson ’16 – whose work with Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and the Johns Hopkins University Military and Veterans Health Institute was written about in Fox News! The goal of their project was to design a foot and ankle prothesis that allows veterans to quickly adapt to different footwear, specifically adjusting the heel height from 0-4 inches.
