<Title>Asante's bike wins V-LINC project of the year award</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><p>Asante’s bicycle, a custom bicycle with hand and foot pedals
    designed and built by ME capstone students, received the Project of the Year
    award for 2015 from V-LINC.  V-LINC is a
    non-profit that develops “Special Solutions for Special Needs”.  Asante is a 4-year-old little person with
    hydrocephalus who wanted a bicycle so he could ride with his brothers.  The capstone project team, consisting of
    Jacob Alvarez, Michael Roberts, Kevin Johnson, and David Nguyen, worked with
    Cristian Bell (Technical Director, UMBC Theater Department) to build the bicycle to Asante’s
    specifications.  You can see a video of
    Asante on his bicycle <a href="https://youtu.be/4NLVJpixq-I" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">here</a>.</p>

    intended for pitchers) to protect them from batted balls.  The capstone project is the brainchild of
    Stefan Wroblewski, Andrew Wallace, Baruch Weiner, Jezron Basbas, and Michael
    Torres, currently students in ENME444 Mechanical Engineering Systems Design, and
    uses specially selected materials to make a very thin protective device that

<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><p>Students and faculty from the UMBC Mechanical Engineering
    Department, American Society of Mechanical Engineers chapter, Center for Women in
    Technology, and Retriever Robotics manned the UMBC booth at the USA Science and
    Engineering Festival in Washington, DC on April 16-17.  With a combination of interactive displays
    and hands-on activities focusing on sustainable design, robotics, and
    engineering principles, the booth was inundated by crowds from open to close
    each day.  The students also fielded many
    questions about degree programs from prospective students.  Special thanks to Ms. Jamie Gurganus and Dr.
    Carlos Romero-Talamas for their hard work before and during the festival.</p><p>You can find out more about the festival <a href="http://www.usasciencefestival.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">here</a>.</p>
