About
The organization has a process by which it identifies injured veterans and others; such as first responders, 'challengers,' who agree to be served by the organization's program. The challengers are linked to a team of engineering students at a college or university that has an agreement with the organization. The university provides a faculty advisor and the organization provides a program manager to support the team in the product development process, which is normally 9 months in duration. The thrust of our program is having senior design projects at the universities. There are 60 projects in the 2019-2020 academic year serving 283 engineering students at 12 universities. The organization has established some dedicated laboratory space at the following universities: Cal Poly, Colorado School of Mines, and University of Texas, San Antonio.
